Essentially, yes, the chip area is much smaller than the fully illuminated circle of this scope, the fully illuminated circle of the AG12 could handle a larger chip like the 8300 or even the Kodak KAI4022M but would need larger filters to prevent vignetting, the H694 chip is also quite uniformly sensitive across its area, it's a great camera IMO and I am really enjoying using it

It was only a suggestion.
I reckon it's not about scientific accuracy - it's about art.

What? don't you like chocolate

...mmmmmm chocolate argllll driiibbble (Homer Simpson)
Fair enough and appreciate your opinion but personal preference also decides which chocolate one chooses too I guess

besides, the stars are far from being only bright white on my monitor, so not sure what is going on there
