I guess its faster than an FSQ and it appears to have tight stars unlike the Epsilon 180ED which seemed to not give as fine an image as FSQ.
I think a Microline 29050 with a MMOAG would be good. But if you are not getting flexure then just the ML29050. That is 29mp and around 5.5 micron pixels. QE is just under 60%.
I was tempted to get one last year but ran out of $. It would be a good match for fast refractors and scopes like this. 8300 chip has too small a FOV and also will do star bloats with that sort of speed unless you do shorter exposures in LRGB. The 29050 may also bloat as it also has small wells. Narrowband though should be no trouble.

No need to get one if you have an FSQ already. My Proline 16803 and FSQ combination are hard to beat.
