ATM 2 questions on CCD



Hi all,
 
I'm fairly new to this list, and just getting back into ATM after a long absence.  I have 2 questions if you don't mind (might actually be 3 :-))
 
1. Is CCD and construction of CCD astrophotography cameras considered off topic for this list? If so, could I get some guidance on a more appropriate place?
 
2. If this is on topic, is the Cookbook CCD camera still considered "the way to go" by most builders, or have others supplanted it, either due to better technology, or difficulty in getting the ccd chips, or whatever?  Or is that largely a matter of opinion?
 
Thanks for any help.
