Before I place an order for the Sbig STX with the 16803 chip, I would like to get some feedback from people who are using this camera or have an informed opinion.

Some of the reasons I chose this camera are as follows.

Dual chip inbuilt OAG
The filter wheel, 65mm filters
Fast down load
Mac compatible
Medium sized chip
Cooling rate
QE 60%

This will be the first CCD camera I have bought for Astro imaging. I wan't to get it right.
Its going to Cost around $15K but I am only getting 16 mega pixels for this amount of money is it worth it. Considering terrestrial medium format cameras can have up to 80 mega pixels or more.

Any feed back will be great.

Cheers
Phil
