I'd love to know too. I have my eye on that fabulous camera!

Of course, you can test it between now and then - just find a 14th mag star and set the iso so that you can see it clearly with a low exposure - Our cameras will be something around .25 to .5 second exposure for 14th mag.

The star that will be occulted is much brighter at mag 12, but we are looking to get a good result at the minimum brightness (14.2)

Its a balancing act between amplification and exposure, so it would be great if you could post some frames here so we can see what your set up is capable of - Its my guess that it could be fantastic!
