Sadly, no. I have exhausted my astro budget until I sell something. So I'm using a 4MP 15x15mm sensor'd ATIK LE4000 (the same as the SXVR_H16). But the FOV is still pretty good at 158x158 arc minutes. That's about 7 square degrees. If I want to go wider, I'll have to learn to do mosaics.

Of course a nice big U16 or similar would be great. But alas, that is unlikely to happen.
