QHY miniCAM5F

Anyone else got one of these - they're a QHY5L-II with 2-stage cooler and 9-position FW built-in. I'm waiting on one to arrive and was interested to see if anyone had been using one for either lunar/planetary or Deep Space objects?
The sensor is pretty small with 3.75 micron pixels and the oversampling/undersampling gurus will no doubt have a field day with that. But since it can cool -38C below dela and weighs only half a kilo or so, it can't be all bad. Can it??
