I remember lusting after the SX25C when I had a QHY8 in 2008~2009.
They both carried the same sensor, but the Starlight Xpress model had proper setpoint based cooling, and somehow, even cleaner electronics. Not to mention, it did not exhibit the garish reflections the QHY8's optical window caused...
I am a sucker for old tech though... I'd still prefer a 16200 over any of the current CMOS sensors... or a 16803 if I could ever find one at a price I was comfortable paying for a used camera... Even the KAF8300 that I sold in December last year was still chugging along beautifully after 13 years of service...

Thanks Alex
Yeah the SX and FLI CCD based cameras are still awesome and if I get the conditions on the left half of
this graph I have a galaxy
machine now
It was recently one year since our son Ben passed away, so it's been a bit somber and we have been dealing with the associated stuff
. Hopefully the New Year will bring me a new image
