I think the read noise figures are being interperated as some kind of boogie man. The 10e ( or 8e quoted from SBIG) is the same as the QHY12 and other CCD's from 4 years ago. It just means don't do 10sec subs with them, in the majority of sub lengths we do (3 plus minutes) read noise is never an issue.

What would concern me more is being a Kodak chip, RBI can rear its ugly head. I'll ask that question to Theo before I purchase one, if there have been any reports of RBI with the 16200 chip.
