Be careful if you are looking at AO - might be difficult to fit one into the available backfocus at f4

Thanks Ray,
But isn't the 3200 a lot more expensive with higher noise and is NABG? I believe its equivalent is the 694 which is cheaper and low noise.
I don't think I have too many options regarding actual sensors for this price bracket. might just have to make the decision based on vendor and local support.
But in terms of dynamic range, would there be a noticeable difference between the 8300 and 694 or is the comparison not like for like?
I'm waiting for a price on the STF8300 from the local supplier and Clive's ST10Xe.
I was considering the RCC1 mainly due to backfocus requirements if I fit a filter wheel, so how does this compare to the spherical aberration with the mpcc mk3?
Can an AO unit be added to the ST10Xe?
Cheers
