"CCD, don't go for the KAF8300. Your sampling will be way too over sampled."
Is there really such a thing as oversampled? The only consequence as I understand it if your pixels/arc sec is less than about .66 seeing is less sensitivity.
Also limited by your local seeing assuming you will always image at the same location.
The real danger is undersampled and lowered resolution isn't it?
Image scale is really another consideration and one chip doesn't do all jobs especially if you have multiple scopes. This why I have 2 CCD cameras.
On another topic I see at OPT they are advertising a 12 inch Astrotech RC now.
This is getting interesting.
