Oh yeah, the 6303 is 9um pixels, For some reason I was thinking it was 7.8.. Yeah you're losing a fair bit of resolution if you go for that. and as you say, even then, at F/9 you're going to struggle to fit things in..
If you were to go for the STL6303E, its got the built in CFW, would support the rest of your imaging train too (AO/RGH/MOAG etc..) Although as you say.. big money, really big money when you add filters.. Spending big money to go down in resolution and QE all for the sake of a larger FOV sounds pretty silly..
On the topic of it not being immediately recognizable due to the FOV, I'd see that as a positive rather than a negative. It gives you a lot of flexibility when it comes to how you want to frame a target, and how which area you want to focus on... Take the rosette for example, you could do a stunning close up of the "twister" In M16 you could show off the pillars, or alternatively, just for something different, go for a shot of the spire..... or the dust cloud just above the pillars. Millions of options...
Granted, shooting NB all the time can be painstaking, night after night after night capturing the same target for an image with quality that is ultimately limited by the local sky conditions...
Just know you have a supporter here... NF+NB is cool. Don't back down!
