Matt, you could always bin to make the pixels bigger or use a reducer. I think the optec next gen 0.7 would be ok for that chip as it can deliver a nice field up to 18mm. No good for my QHY9 though.

Would the ST8 suit my long focal lenght 12R better than the ST10 or would it not be too much in it other than area?
I note that the ST10 seems to be the perfect companion to a nice Apo.
Is the less resolution going to make much difference in my location in Brisbane?
I am mainly interested in imaging galaxies so maybe I will need larger pixels for sensitivity? but then more resolution may be whats needed as well  .
Thoughts on the two would be a great help in deciding.
