The problem with this camera is that it doesnt cover the entire sky, which is probably because of the CCD chip (4.74mm X 3.55 mm) being smaller than the image circle for the lens. Now the job has been given to me and I have been thinking of using a camera with a bigger chip, such as either the QHY 9 or QHY 11. So my question is can I use either of the two cameras with any fish-eye lens or do I need to match certain specs of the lens and the camera?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Arwin
QHY9 sensor will be too small. QHY8 is bigger. I don't know sensor size for QHY11.
