Yes, it takes 1/4 of the time to get a sky limited sub so the shallower wells aren't a problem. Hopefully, fewer wasted subs as well.

A FLI Microline would be lovely if you can afford it. There are a few folks around here with the ICX-694 in a SX camera. Mike Sidonio, Greg Bradley and Ray/Shiraz are the ones that come to mind.

NP. Just let me know when you're ready. The camera has been sitting in the Pelican case since I got my Apogee U16M.

True, alas. At least for any sane level of expenditure
