The 16200 would be a good match, but the sensor size might be a bit of a let down given what the corrected and illuminated field of that scope would be.
The QHY600 is the best choice then the 16803. The 16200 may be fine but a bit narrow.

But the newer sub 4um pixel cameras like the IMX45


5 are where a scope like this would really sing I think.

The 110GTX and the new corrector compressors are designed to handle the small 3.76 micron pixels of these popular CMOS sensors.
These small pixels are showing up aberrations in the optics that went unnoticed with the larger pixelled cameras.

The 110GTX seems to accomplish that impressively.

My scope is #129 and Roland is in the process of doing another production run. I presume he does 100 in a run but don't know that for a fact.
