That's a very nice Horsehead, but it took 64 hours to collect this data. QE for ICX814 (used to take this image) approaches zero for 1 micron wavelength (so is the case for most/all? modern sensors), while the new graphene CMOS apparently is sensitive up to 2 microns, so it would certainly help to capture new kind of space data that has been beyond reach for amateurs, given that this type sensors will become affordable.
