Ray,

Looks like a great camera but the 11.5e- read noise spec is a bit scary for narrowband use.

I'm sitting on the sidelines here. I don't think we've had a significant advance in astro sensor technology for a while. If you want a big FOV then there's nothing much better than a KAF-16803. If you want high QE and low noise and can live with a small FOV then the ICX-694 is great. Apart from that the current offerings are pretty unexciting unless you can afford exotic silicon.

Cheers,
Rick.
