SBig ST8300

I have just been reading about the new SBig ST8300 CCD camera. It looks very interesting.

They pushed it to -40C which is not too shabby.

It requires a special filter wheel to take 36mm filters as they claim ordinary filters do not cover the chip and will lead to vignetting. Why can't it just use 50mm filters?

As for price, well it is advertised at just under $2K US.

Should be worth a look.
