Sounds like the camera is a keeper..?
Those cooling specs are aaaalmost as good as my big brick ProLIne
Does that chip actually need the RBI fix though? Did you use it?
I agree you woudn't need the flattener for that chip size, less glass, less weight and less possibilty of internal refections etc then
I guess you will need a long FL telescope now???

the native AP is too short....wonder what Greg will buy this time

the Baader extender that AP sell looks good though - cheapish option..?
Overall the image ain't ya best dude but those stars are characteristic APO at least.
