Mark - I purchased my ccd from this site:

Yeah I posted that ... and I bought my QHY8 from the same place too .
I bought two nose pieces UV/IR (has a slight pink reflection) and clear (has a slight green reflection). You can tell which one you have by looking the reflection on the glass on a 45deg angle or so.

The card came with premiere CS3 I think but you can color calibrate when you process your subs. It's close enough. I use CCD Stack. For the white/gray balance I select the core of a white star non saturated and it does a pretty good job working out the ratios. I also select the background to set the colors offset.
