Kodak sensors tend to be more noisy than Sony progressive scan CCDs (and cams with Kodak sensors have usually stronger cooling). Also few Sony sensors like interlaced ICX429 found in few astrocams have read out noise at around 15e-

That Celestron camera isn't that perfect as it could be but that read out noise should be a problem with nicely exposed frame The Celestron camera isn't for planetary imaging (slow, big), and it's intended for Hyperstar or EdgeHD + Optec Lepus imaging (+ others). The QE is quite low in this case and such camera IMHO won't be a very hot product There are better / bigger / and even they may be cheaper.
