The fact that the aperture is 11 inches and has 55mm of back focus suggests they have covered the DSLR market with the intention of making it "plug and play". You could still use a mono CCD using Starizona's Filter slider.

Greg is spot on, the SX 814 would be a great camera for this scope. I'm looking at getting one for my Hyperstar set up. Just need the cash

Yes - the camera goes on the front corrector plate:

How can you stop the fan from the peltier cooler from disrupting the air flow?
Also - the camera has to be connected by cables - so I take it that they
are placed across the aperture?
