riklaunim Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Starvis is for backside illuminated sensors, not one specific. I have 178MM - mono version, and it does seems to work for DS imaging. There are some images from other users. Very small pixels however limit telescopes that can be used with them (I used a lens with 300mm focal length at f/4.5). But also those modern CMOS sensors work differently than CCDs in typical DS cameras and so DS photography is different too - due to amp glow and general performance IMX based cameras prefer many shorter exposed frames instead of few on longer exposures.
