I definately was not aware of that.
Not a very scientific method, but once you have played around with a icx618 camera, you just know it is just really good. Simply comparing the final results will give a good indication of what it can do. In my case the only thing that changed was the ccd. And when the image was more than twice as bright in red, and even more in IR without an apparent increase in noise, I knew it was a keeper. I pretty much was convinced already by looking at Torsten Edelmans initial webcam modification.
pff.. it's cold outside, I shouldn't type that much. Currently imaging a Tethys transit, but Saturn is only 30 degrees above the horizon now
