Re: [APML] Foveon Chip

["Chris & Jennifer Cook" <ccjd@ix.netcom.com>]

This looks to be a real turning point in digital imaging.  I'm hoping the
big camera manufacturers start using the chips.  I wonder if Foveon has a 5
mega-pixel chip planned.  I only saw that it went up to 3 mega-pixel.

As far as applying it to deep sky imaging, I wonder if a chip like this
would work given is has good QE and blue sensitivity....... thoughts from
the CCD experts?
