I've found image scale seems to be the key to getting decent images from a small sensor camera. This little 1.3 megapixel starlight hx916 mono camera I've been playing with, can give horrible images at the FL of the vc200l, but at 600mm odd from the tak it's showing real detail. It's seems to be way more sensitive than my old canon 40D or my new qhy8. Light pollution is still a problem for me, it appears to screw up the colours as it shows up more in blue and green rather than red.
Check out some of Max's images with a small sensor starlight camera.
