hi guys,

since a couple of fellows asked me about the perfomance of SXV H16 I thought it was time to post a review on this subject.
I know it would better fit into another forum, but most of You referred to me coming from this forum so here we are...
the mods may decide which forum is appropriate. 8)

here is the review:
http://stargazer.christelhager.info/reportsCCD-h16-engl.htm

it is supposed to grow over the time as I becmoe more experienced wit hthis CCD.

best regards,
dietmar

Dietmar,
Thanks for posting that. Now, rather than moving up from an MX716 to an SXV9 I'll have to save even more for one of those! It never ends...
Regards,
Larry

That's a fine review Dietmar.
As your images prove,a very capable camera,maybe someday I can get a bigger chip smile
The difference in the dark frames is quite remarkable.My darks from the ST-2000xm look very similiar to what you posted.
I am currently using master darks made up of 18 subs 8O

By the way,your M13 image is just great!

Jason
