I can see more focal length with the same frame rates I am getting now. That would be spectacular. Imagine being at 21,000mm focal length and getting 45 fps on say Jupiter. It would mean much of Jupiter would be outside the viewing panel on the 640 x 480 version, but it would mean we could image real detail in the cloud structures. The implications for Jupos would be astounding.

This kind of gets over the problem with having to buy larger diameter scopes. Although resolution requirements would still apply, albeit that we are well past the Dawes limit each time we image. Hmmm this is very interesting.

Thanks for the heads up Anthony. Might have to keep an eye out for a new camera with the new sensor. Lumenera are resting on their butts and not produced a new camera for years. Time to make a change.
