New ZWO out, large format mono

[f15p5]

Just saw this, wonder how it would be for DSO? Not as sensitive as some but nice fov! Any thoughts? For $500.00 might be a good deal?

There is another thread on this. I know these chips do VERY well on solar H-alpha. The sensitivity is not exactly bad, but I have no idea how these will fare in terms of dark current.

Very much tempted, I must say
