anyone know if the bayer CFA on cmos sensors would be similar to CCD's on the nikon's?
with Sony's, is there software to use them for long exposure?
Greg mentioned a few that have low noise and high QE. might be worth trying it as well.

I debayered a 1000d spare sensor last night. was harder than the 350d, looks like the layer is a bit thinner.
just waiting for the 1000D body to arrive and I can then test with my scope.
I've removed the front glass on the 350D as well, so its now full spectrum. I will add a clear glass on the sensor face as well.

I might convert a few cameras to B&W, add the Baader UV/IR and put them up if anyone's interested. The normal lenses will work.

waiting for clouds to clear... so can only test indoors.
these are jpg's straight off the 350d with a custom white balance.
I did a comparison with a 300mm lens on a lamp post with an unmodded 1000d and the b&w 350D and noticed the difference in the small coils. not sure if the comparison is realistic, but what else do you do when its cloudy
