You can calculate the true field of view when Astro imaging using the same formula as for eyepiece TFOV. i.e.

TFOV = Sensor size in mm x 57.3 / Telescope or lens focal length

E.g. For APS-C sensor of 24 x 16mm and 420mm lens

TFOV = 3.3 X 2.1 degrees

For full size 36 x 24mm sensor and 420mm lens

TFOV = 4.9 x 3.3 degrees
