Thanks, David
The KAF-8300 is a decent combination with the FSQ-106 from an image scale POV. It's just over 2 arcsec/pixel and drizzled to around 1 arcsec/pixel has worked for me well in good seeing at SRO. Things I don't like are the small FOV and star spikes from the micro-lenses.
Given the choice I'd rather a KAI-11000 or KAF-16803 and I've used both of those with my FSQ at home. If you're using a wide field scope like the FSQ-106ED then you might as well have a big FOV. The big pixels will get you good SNR quickly, the image scale is largely immune to seeing and you can drizzle to get some extra resolution.
Cheers,
Rick.
