As you say rolling shutter is only a problem for video of fast moving objects.
Perhaps it may impact planetary imagers and that was why it was brought up on Cloudy Nights? Don't planets sometimes flick around with the seeing?

Back in the days when CMOS was about to take over from CCDs in planetary, there used to be a lot of waffle about rolling shutters being bad for planetary imaging. Then the ASI120 and QHY5L2 cameras came on the market - it turned out to be a total non-issue. Just another red herring from the CCD purveyors (and I guess we will hear a bit from them in the coming months as the CMOS chips show what alternatives might be possible in DSO imaging).
