Question for SBIG STF 8300 Color CCD

Howdy,

I'm kinda thinking this may be a question one would know, but personally I not sure about what is probably obvious to any SBIG CCD Users out there or someone with knowledge of this CCD Imager.

As I am looking at cooled CCD's for down the track, in which there are many to choose from.

One thing I would like to find out about this SBIG STF 8300 Color CCD with the 8300 off axis guider, is that I am guessing the OAG does not have a sensor of its own, and it works using the 8300 CCD Chip , ,

Therefore then, I assume this CCD Package can Only image or Only guide , , But Not do both at the same time ? would this be correct, if so, thats a shame, would not it be great if it can do both at the same time , , Maybe it does do both, im not sure ?

Can anyone confirm either way ?
Thanx , ,
