Hi Lunatics,
Here is a link to a superb mosaic of the Copernicus region, imaged by renowned lunar imager, Tony Gondola.
This was with a customer's 9.5" mirror at F/24, DMK 21AF04, no filter.

Hi Ray,
When you get the camera, don't forget to get the optics, years of high res imaging experience, software processing skills, seeing conditions etc. etc. Buying the camera is the easiest part, IMHO.
Getting these sorts of results from the 'tools', require all of the above to achieve the final masterpiece, this is where the fun part comes in and the challenge.
Clear skies...
