Camera for Edge HD8
« on: May 23, 2017, 07:02:17 pm »
Looking for mono camera to fit my budjett and setup.
About $2000, Celestron Edge HD8 with 0.7 reducer on Skywatcher AZ-EQ6.
What would be a good camera for me?

I've been doing this just long enough to say...great question!  Good luck my friend.  Whatever you do, match the scope to the pixels..

For what it's worth, I just got a 420 to Hyprestar my 8" edge.
Damn,that's cool!

I have the same type of setup. An RC 8" Astrograph with a 0.75x reducer.
To figure out the correct camera use this formula. ((pixel size of camera sensor divided by focal length of OTA) x 260). Use the result and use the table in the resource section of Atik website. You should be able to select a camera that is close to a 1:0 ratio. It reduces the likelihood of over saturating or under-saturating stars.
