There is no substitute for a large sensor but it does place demands on the scope. You need a focuser and scope that has a large enough corrected circle to illuminate the sensor without coma. Usually that also means using a flattener and 3 inch focusers or larger. Some report success with 2.7 inch focuser so it may depend on scope model.

I'm going to get the P-FLAT68, but why a 3inch focuser?
