I use Orion Starshoot and love it but am looking for somthing with a little less noise and better SNR.

Marc Aragnou made a minor mod to his QHY5, he slid a piece of aluminium between the CCD and the case (ie creating a heatsink) and has early indications of about a 25% sensitivity gain with a lower noise due to better heat disipation.
