I just placed my deposit to order one of the new SBIG STL-11000M CCD cameras. I plan to use it with a BORG 125ED f/4. Here's a simulated image showing the field of view and resolution I anticipate from this combination, made from DSS data (it's too big to upload here):

Of course, I do no expect to get quite as deep as the Palomar Schmidt, at least not the faintest stars, but I think this is a fair simulation of what the camera and scope will be capable of.
