This might be a better target for the 16803 actually, unless the seeing is good up this close suffers a bit and you could fit more in too....man you cetainly have choices dude

The 16803 is more ideal for this setup for sure. The 8300 is really for the refractors but it would most likely do really well on your AG12.
I took this one with practically no exposure time at my dark site with the TEC180 at F5.25 and the ML8300 (a much better match):

Something to know for those working out what camera to buy. 9 micron pixels are a good compromise for almost any setup but small pixelled cameras are more limited arbitrarily to focal lengths under say 1500mm. The exception seems to be the ST10 with 6.8 micron pixels for some reason. Perhaps the high QE makes up for the oversampling and loss of sensitivity.
