Thanks heaps for the info.

My personal calculations for my FOV were way off. Don't know what I was thinking.

Ron Wodaski's CCD calculator is amazing!
It agreed very well with images I have taken of the same targets.

It turns out my Orion EON refractor 85mm , F/L 560mm (with ZWO ASI1600) has a FOV 81.9 x 108.3 arc minutes.

This agrees with Joe's formula.

Very clever Joe!

It also means I need another scope
