I think we'll start moving towards seeing a new generation of CMOS sensors, maybe not new generation but there is a large portion of the amateur astronomy community calling for larger mono sensors. At the moment you can either get large sensors that have 15 micron pixels and NABG or the KAF-16803, 11002 (ancient) or the 16200 (new).
Seeing the sensor in the Nikon D810a as mono (QHY have it as a OSC already) or the Sony A7R2 as mono would be a large step forwards. The KAF-16803 is still the king sensor on longer focal lengths due to the 9 micron pixels but a mono Sony A7R2 (42mp FX sensor) would be amazing on a FSQ106 or what I've got as they're both really well corrected and short FL.
This I believe would be the biggest step we could make for 2017.
