You could also do that with the 16200 and get 12 micron pixels and higher QE and with 16mp you have plenty of pixels still. You would be bang on 1 arc second per pixel at 2x2 with the 16200.

yeah that was my thoughts too, by having the 16200, you have enough pixels to play with binning. i might go down this path and get the 16200, maybe look into the reducer down the track. ultimately my other options are the 16803 (a lot more pricey) and the 6303 (problems with blooming). the 16200 might be a bit more versatile.
