Alta U16M Grade S (4096 x 4096 9µ) The U16M is a 16 Million pixel imager. At 9u pixel size with a 4096 x 4096 array, the U16M has a field of view which until recently was simply not available at this price for high performance astronomy applications. The enormous field of view and sensitivity of this camera has made this the camera of choice for astro-photographers. Part/Description Price US Price Intl D07F-MG63S-U16803-MMSA (Alta U16M) Kodak KAF-16803, 4096x4096, 9 micron, Microlensed Blue Plus (16.8Mpixels) prepay $9,896 net30 $10,995 prepay $10,995 net30 $12,217   Alta U9000 Grade S (3056 x 3056 12µ) The U9000 is the same CCD area as the U16M, but with 12u pixels instead of 9u. How to choose? Choose the largest pixel which meets your needs for sampling with your optical system. Over-sampling (choosing pixels too small for your system) has the effect of reducing your apparent sensitivity, because the light is spread over more pixels.
