I was originally going to buy a cannon 800D for astrophotography, however a friend of mine recommended sonys mirrorless series because they were newer and had better lense support etc. Looking around, I found very well priced used a6000. How good are these cameras for astrophotography? Im looking to use it with a star tracking mount and a redcat 51, or similar small APO refractor. I want to focus on nebula and star clusters, not planetary. I also want to use this camera outside of Astro, but Astro is the priority. Are mirrorless cameras different compared to DLSRs when it comes to Astros? And if its not a great camera for Astros, could you recommend one that would surfice in both widefield astros and normal day-today use thats around the same used price as the a6000.
It had a CMOS APS-C sensor at 6000x4000 (24.3MPixles), with a pixle pitch of 3.92 microns.
