Hi Logan,
Good first image!
Speaking of the ATIK 414EX, I'm actually using this camera as a wide field guider on my system with the ONAG. Overkill, perhaps but so far I've never moved the ONAG stage to find a star. And with cooling I'm getting very good sensitivity and dark backgrounds. The camera is perfect and has never dropped connection....something I cannot say about my others. I might just try the camera on my TEC180 with a barlow because as you say for a small galaxy a large field is rather unnecessary!
This link shows the FOVs of my three cameras. Largest is 8300 chip Moravian, middle Trius, and smallest the ATIK414EX. I should explain, however, that the FOV of the Trius is though my TEC140, and the other two through the TEC180. Obviously the Trius on the TEC180 would show a much smaller FOV relatively.
