Hi Matt,
Just want to echo what Johann said: the sensor seems nice but make sure you're getting one with a decent sized aperture to make sure you have enough sensitivity. Our camera can struggle distant aeroplanes when they're lower in the sky & under certain weather conditions.
This one seems like a nice model:

But unfortunately, because they probably have to grow some kind of fancy crystal for the lens, I expect that the price is going to scale significantly with the amount of glass that you're buying.
Let me know how how it goes if you decide to get one, they could be interesting for us too!
