I'm interested in this and have gone through the shutter mod which looks straight forward, but in terms of pixel scale, can someone tell me how this would work with an F4? the pixel size is 9um, is this good or bad for short focal length scopes? I have a 10inch F4 and a GSO 6" RC @F9
Also how heavy is this and is the weight of the scsi cable an issue?
is the sensor sealed, so no frosting or dew issues?

Thanks
Alistair
CCDCalc is the way to go if you want to get a feel for pixel size versus focal length, arcsecs per pixel, etc
