Best CCD Sensor size for my setup

Hi All,

I have been DSLR imaging (Canon 1100d) with my permanent setup for the last 18 months and now I am planning an upgrade to a dedicated astro CCD camera early next year.

My current set up comprises a HEQ5 Pro mount, Saxon ED100 F9 Refractor, Orion SSAG and ST 80 Refractor. I am looking to add a focal reducer to the ED100 and I don't plan to change my ED100 in the near future.

I have good views in the South, East and West.

What size CCD sensor would work best with my current set up for DSO imaging?

Once I have an idea on best sensor size I can start the process of looking for a suitable camera not sure if I am going to go OSC or mono yet.

Thanks for your thoughts.
