darn im so convinced im working out how to get the cash asap... just about sold the vixen vc200l thats $800 closer- tidy up a few loose ends and im going to have to have a chat with mr Gama ....soon i hope.

just in case you dont think ive done any research.....
The QHY8 seems to be that rare thing amongst astro cooled CCD cameras - a bargain. At under £1500 it is well under half the price of an SXV M25 which has the same 6megapixel Sony ICX413AQ super HAD chip. Of course the M25 has additional features such as a guideport but the cameras share the same engine. I know from the H9 how well these Sony chips perform - extremely sensitive for a non blooming chip - max QE of 60% with sensitivity remaining good in the critical HA part of the spectrum. Plus very low noise. On paper at least, their performance is a level higher than ABG Kodak chips.

a quote i found.....
