I've come up with this SS to determine which one is going to be the next scapegoat so I can invest some time and money and remove the cfa, replace the IR filter, and cool it.
I just need one which I can control via BEOS and has 14 bits and between 5 and 7 microns for imaging galaxies.
this SS might be useful to someone.
The text file is tab delimited so you can import it in to excel.
Wish I could get the QE and dynamic range values as well.
I also found this site very informative in comparing various sensors.
Interesting to see that the read noise of most dslr's are lower than the kaf-8300 if i'm interpreting this correctly.
I've been very tempted to do the same with a QHY8 which uses a nikon D40 sensor.
only issue is that the sensor is pretty much glued on to the PCB so if I do damage it, i won't be able to replace it.
if it were replaceable, it would be really cool.
