Hi Bob,

I think there are several IISers with that camera who are very happy. If budget's a concern, you may also want to check out the colour QHY9 - only $1,650 from Melbourne.

The SBIG STF-8300C is a nice camera that has 1 second full-frame downloads. I have the mono version and I can effectively focus with a Bhat mask in real-time using full-frame downloads (the 383L+ has 10 sec full frame downloads) - though I usually use the faster focus/crop modes. The dedicated OAG-8300 is very nice, but quite expensive on its own or as part of a package.

I'm told the QSI equivalent is very nice too, but I don't know much about it.
