Thanks Marc. I am not sure how best to do the next long exposure. Either with my FLI camera and a lens or the Sony on top of the CDK17 (I have mounting gear already sitting on top of the CDK) and use an intervalometer. The CCD may be higher sensitivity I think although the Sony is backside illuminated CMOS full frame with a QE of about 60% so its no slouch. Pixel shift is the closest thing to filtered imaging with a digital camera. Pentax has it so does Olympus.
