@ Ken

I checked the specs on the ATiK16ic (from Craig Stark's review) and he states that it has a Sony CCD sensor measuring 4.9 x 3.6mm which if I read it correctly is pretty much the same size as the 1/3" CMOS sensor, 4.8 x 3.6mm, used in the ASI120.

Ken, in my ignorance I'm probably missing something obvious here, maybe CCD vs CMOS or something, but I'm a bit confused and freely admit that it doesn't take much to confuse me in this area.

@ JA

Thanks for your input. Something else to consider.

PS: I should probably add that I'm intending to use my HEQ5 Pro with a Losmandy Side by Side plate, camera and imaging lens mounted on one side and guiding lens and camera on the other side.
