FYI

Here is a new camera from the Imaging Source. Starting price looks good:

Wow, if it can pop out enough frames it would do some awesome moon images, it's a bit slow for Jupiter and probably too big anyway
Me if it delivers the goods as a guide camera I'd buy one, just depends how sensitive it is.
Worth watching that's for sure

They are CMOS. See this page (mono version) or this page (colour version). From 6 to 52 fps depending resolution selected.

The specs for the mono version indicate a resolution of 2592 x1944 with a pixel size of 2.2 µm x 2.2 µm!

Cheers

TIS has many CMOS cameras, but most if not all can do max 1/4 sec exposures. For planetary and lunary it should last. But does the max speed creates circular artifacts? No one knows. There are available even in TS.

Check out also Basler and Point Grey. There will be Basler with Aptina MT9P at 14 frames per second (2592 x 1944), and there will be one with CMOSIS CMV4000 (2048 x 2048) at 20 FPS with GigE or 180 FPS with CameraLink - 180FPS of a 2048 x 2048 FRAME :]

To get it to go faster you'd have to select a smaller region of the chip and so the 5mp is a bit of a misleading number to judge it by.
