there is an equation you can use with your cameras pixel size and the focal length (including a constant value ) which will give your ideal sampling size i.e camera pixel for your seeing conditions.
I can't remember the name or the values of it but it's worth (when someone remembers it) calcualting the values for your scope else you may be over or under sampling
Vague I know but I am work and can't find it at the moment.
here it is
sample size (arc seconds) = 206.265/focal length mm x pixel size camera in microns
gives sample size for your camera to compare to your seeing conditions (arc seconds)
