You need a scope that is designed for imaging.. if so it will have specs for its image circle and perhaps even the 'spot size' at the centre and edge of the frame. Look at the types of scopes being used with big sensors in the Astrophotography gallery or anywhere else online. It's considerably less demanding with a cropped sensor camera.

Thanks for the reply Phil! I have a Stellarvue 115edt which is patiently waiting for me to purchase a mount...
Apologies for the thread hijack!
