Indeed I've done a little more research. The interface is via frame grabber card (not cheap, inconvenient or both) and the software is...expensive quaint to say the least.

Then there is the problem of no shutter....plus a tiny 12,000 e- well depth (Ok the noise with a 111 degree delta is bugger all)...but the read noise is still 7e- qashing the dynamic range down quite a bit.

That said...it still would be interesting to see what one can do on the back of telescope (rather than microscope)
