Hi Aragorn (is that from LOTR's?)
the cloud we definitely don't need, not at night anyway. During the day for melinoma reasons I can agree with, but not at night.
The new CCD is a cooled colour version, 2000x1500 or so pixels, with the pixels being reasonably small, and this lends itself more to camera lenses, or short focal length optics. It is produced in China, and I am keen to try it on the 80/840 refractor, but also on the longer Mewlon (2160mm).
It is however destined to leave me as I am replacing it with a B&W version, primarily so I can do Ha B&W.
I do at least want to try it before I part with it though.
