Hi Brett, the 8300 really is a bit of a waste of all that flat field real estate on the FSQ. You certainly wouldn't be disappointed but the 11000 is something I'd love to be able to use on mine. Small well size the other issue on 8300s, with consequent tendency to stars bloating a bit. Checking back on what Rick, Peter Ward (and others) have posted with 16803 and 11000 chips could be worthwhile if you haven't already.
There is the minor detail of money with those big chip cameras, but also don't forget focusing. Jase had to upgrade the Robofocus standard motor on his FSQ rig using a big Apogee camera to get reliable slip free focus. Rick relies on FLI atlas focuser for his FSQ lightpath.
Have you bought an FSQ, out of interest, or sketching out your next dream rig?
