Camera for Meade 12" ACF at f6.7?
Hello,
I could use a bit of advice. I'm thinking about trying to image through a 12" ACF. The camera I own is a Moravian G2-8300. I've worked out that if I bin 2x2 at f6.7 my image scale would be 1.11 arcsec. Not bad, but I don't know enough to know if this is just a compromise that in the end will give unsatisfactory results?
The only camera I have found so far that I might afford is the SBIG ST1603ME with 9 u pixels. At f6.7 this would put me at .92 arcsec with a 15.7 x 23.6 arcmin field of view. (the Kaf8300 = 25 x 33 arcmin field)
It would be nice to find something with the sensor size of the KAF8300 and 9 u or larger pixels, but does such a chip exist? At the moment a 16803 + large filters, new wheel is just beyond reach.
Do I just stick with the G2-8300? Thanks for any feedback on this!
Peter
