Hi all,

Looking for some sage advice on a camera for a new wide-field setup I’m building. I’ve got an Askar FRA400 which I will use in native 400mm mode and with a 0.7 reducer. I’m looking at a camera for this setup and am looking at a 2600MC (which I have for my main rig) or a much cheaper 533MC. I’m leaning towards the 533MC as the specs look good and I can’t justify the extra almost $2000 in cost, but the 2600 is 16-bit vs the 533 which is 14-bit.

Looking at Astronomy Tools the 533 will introduce a fair degree of under-sampling but am wondering if this is not that important at 400 or 280mm.

So am I better off going with the cheaper 533?
