Thanks for all of the kind responses!

Yes I deal with RBI with the u9000 chip. I have both a 16803 and u9000, with the u9000 being one of the first chips. I do have pre-flash avalible but I do not like the noise it adds. So I do a pretty good dither and use strong rejection methods to deal with it. I normally only shoot one target a night so it is somewhat limiting. The 16m has no issues.

On the other had it is very sensitive at my FL of 4300mm. I am part of an internation team who studies Star Streams and recently a professional at Max-Planck measured my detections down to 29 mag/arcsec2 from my back yard

Regards,

Ken Crawford

What have been your experiences with the 9000 chip, has RBI shown its head and if so how is it delt with in the Apogee?

Happy Easter to you too
