Cooled monochrome DSLR

Ahh, that would be the ticket!
We are probably closer to agreement than the posting would have suggested. For pretty pictures with a minimum of fuss the DSLR's are dollar for dollar great to outstanding value but the moment you want to do any sort of science such as photometry you are stuffed. Lack of binning is also an issue which is why I am considering an SBIG at the moment. I like imaging galaxies and the problem with the very large chipped DSLR's (imagine that, complaining about a chip being too large?) is that you end up with a great starfield and a tiny galaxy.
I had actually taken some interest in the SAC10 myself for that reason.
