It makes me think that you'd be even more happier with this:

but they are very expensive.
I was thinking about getting one when I get my new 10" f4 Newt up & running.

Thanks Alan because of the number of sub frames and the number ruined by cloud and the blending necessary, it required a bit work to put together ...but sigh...that's why we do this huh?

Yes thought about one of those, would work perfectly with my AG12 and would have been useful for this image too...but gee, apart form the price the field would be very small with the H694 thus limit suitable objects so I would need a bigger chip which would have bigger pixels most likely, so back to where I started really, resolution wise.. and too much work to swap over when I wanted to as well. Would be a good accessory if I had an 8300 or even better an APM size chip.
