Phil - thanks for addressing many of my (unwritten!) concerns in your 2 posts, specifically those issues associated with mounting lenses on the CCD camera.
I hadn't assumed there would be any great difficulty in getting an adapter for my 2 Canon EF L lenses, but I was worried about the focussing distance with the same QHY9/CFW setup that you have (this is the mono setup I had been considering)

Also, I image solely from my backyard so transport convenience isn't an issue and I suppose by even considering this route from DSLR to CCD, I am chasing the best possible results from my imaging!

So my question is...Is the 16bit dynamic range afforded by CCDs noticeably superior to the 14bit Cooled DSLRs in widefield imaging?

Cheers
Doug
