Hi folks, I have a CDK14 with an ageing FLI PL 16803. I have an FLI CFW 5-7  filter wheel with 50mm square chroma filters. I'm thinking about getting an IMX461 as I like the 16803 sensor size. Not keen to risk disappointment with a GSENSE 4040 with its notoriously high dark current. Does anyone have recommendations about this chip? Not many companies are offering them: ZWO, QHY and Moravian. I've had bad luck with ZWO with poor housing and fogging up, and would be happy to pay a premium for a better build quality. Questions:
1)any issues with square 50mm filters? It's going to be a little tight and I expect more than a little vignetting
2)Any experience with QHY or Moravian cameras in this sensor size?

All the best,
Franco from Australia

I'm a lowly noob with much a cheaper small modern sensor. It's great. 
But, I see some some amazing images from sensors like yours.

I use Moravian's IMX461 on CDK20 (check my gallery).  5cm square filters are fine.  Moravian's build quality and customer service are also quite good.
