Bummer about the corrector.

Aluma's look very interesting. A few have passed by me, but I've not had a chance to tinker with one.

But where to go next with sensors? Sony CCD's look quite seductive, but I suspect they are not a game changer.

eMCCD's look awesome, as do their price tags.

But once we have sensors with bugger all noise and superb QE, it will come back to the optics & mount....and sorry, I digress....no doubt the Aluma with a fast Newt is a good start!
