It is unbelievably sensitive. Even short exposures have a lots of detail, and it picks up lots of cosmic ray hits. This is my first time using a nabg camera and it is quite an experience.

Another thing that has not been mentioned with this chip is the well depth, up near 100000e from memory. It does like to be cool tho.... From what I have read it is especially sensitive in the red/near ir. Cant wait to get some images out of it!

One trouble is tho, although it red sensitive, most red nebulas are excited by bright star/s which are usually in the same field of view, and make it bloom heavily in LRGB. As Fred said its a narrow band weapon.
