Using CCDCALC to show you the different FOV and how good a match it is for your particular scopes, it makes for a totally different experience.
Thanks Peter
I was more comparing the Atik 314E and 314L. The314L has a much larger FOV than the 314E. The 314L with my scope would just squeeze M8 into its FOV while the 314E would show maybe 2/3 of it. As you say, the QHY8L would give a much largerFOV again.
