I am getting sick of noisy DSLRs during summer so going to bite the bullet and buy a CCD. Looking at an STF 8300 M that would hang off a Takahashi NS 130. This is f/7.7 but also want the ability to have a 0.8 reducer and a 1.6x extender. Does anyone have experience with the STF 8300 M and does the mathematics of this camera make sense with my OTA.
