Had a read of the link, in very low light CCD's are clearly superior, as well as having significantly better dynamic range (sCMOS are currently targeting 12 bit, ok, but not great ).
Also the elephant in the room is comparing 5-20 minute exposures (smear??? are you kidding? ) with 1-2000th of a second.
sCMOS looks the way in the latter... very likely to be planet-cam of choice in the future...but due the gate structure etc. overheads, it will take some very clever design to displace pure sensor pixel space as in CCD's
Very interesting post just the same
