CVenter,

Here's my choice for two reasons - based on the vignetting and off axis performance with the AG10, and more importantly the choice of image scales I would be putting the big chip onto the FSQ106 and the ST8300 onto the AG10

The SBIG 16803 camera has the main chip and a guide chip in the image circle so the effective image circle is quite large.

1.16 - image scale AG10/8300
2.12 - image scale FSQ/8300
1.95 - image scale AG10/16803
3.50 - image scale FSQ/16803

So if you put the FSQ with the 8300 you end up with the same image scale as the AG10 with the 16803 !
Not a huge point in that for flexibility

This then gives you one Narrow field at 1.16asec/pix and one wide field at 3.5asec/pix

Just my 2c worth
