Hi Doug

I would have to agree with what has been said so far. The 350D and the Tak FS-102 are an awesome combination, at the Prime Focus (f/8) the 350D combination has an excellent arcsecond to pixel ratio and on most nights, it uses the full resolution of the Tak. When you consider, most nights the seeing will be around 1.5 - 2 arcseconds, this falls nicely with what that combination of telescope and camera operate best at.

Best of all, that combination produces a nearly flat field across the whole frame.

I have decided to take the next step up to an SBig ST4000XCM after quite a few years with the 350D but am not going to disregard the 350D, it will be my field imaging camera and, in my humble opinion, I don't think you will get a much better camera to develope your skills on.

All the best with your decision.

Cheers
