Kodak needs to get its act together and make a 39000 chip that's good for astropiccies. Or even something larger
If they used the same 6.8 micron microlensed NABG transparent gate pixel as in the 3200ME it would be the astronomer's wet dream....

But it is still a lot of fun to use. Raw files are 78MB each.

The one shot color, when deinterlaced as 32bit Floating point color are 450MB each roughly. stacking 50 to 100 of those can take some time!
