    Might need 64-bit versions of your software though, and I wouldn't fancy
    carrying the lenses around!

    Cheers,

    That company has really taken aerospace (land and sky) by storm, they
    seem to be part of every military and space requirement for CCDs.

    Whew! "Gaia" For a minute I thought it was another one of those
    misguided NASA missions to study C02 or some Earth-bound phenomena.
    Nice to see NASA looking up, instead of down for a change.

    Yes, indeed, quite a few areas where we in the UK do very well, if
    quietly. One of the E2V folk posts here from time to time as well and
    it's always interesting to read his posts.

    Cheers,
    David

    I wonder what they do with the rejected units? Unlikely they'd
    tolerate the kind of pixel death you see in say a lower-end Nikon APS
    sensor.
