Marcus.
According to what I have read, the pixels are 4.88 micron square, which gives 1.9 arc sec/pixel with the Tak. The fov is about 155x233 arc minutes.
I've got an hours worth of M8 and M20, and a similar amount of dark frames, which I've run through Deep Sky stacker. I also took an hour on the SMC. As usual- these results look worse than the subs on the camera, but once it's all stretched I'll put up a pic.

There's some nice features on the camera, like the little shutter that blocks off the viewfinder, and the camera ran the entire night on two batteries with plenty of juice left in the second.
