The KAF-8300 horizontal shift register only has a well depth of approx 50K e- and is not anti-blooming. This can cause horizontal blooming on bright stars when binning. Examples here: http://www.pbase.com/wjshaheen/horiz...he_kaf8300_ccd

You can ameliorate this by reducing gain (I think some KAF-8300 cameras including QSI do this automatically when you bin) but that's hardly ideal...
