Thank you Ray. I was thinking along the same lines, but you have explained it very clearly. Dynamic range is a much better measure of camera's capacity to record cosmic realities than well depth just by itself.
It seems then that 16803 at the back of a 2m fl quality scope that is also fairly fast would be hard to beat, given that this rig would be sitting at the top of a quality mount and somewhere dry and dark. Unfortunately we only have two kidneys and that might not be enough...
