Thanks for commenting
My existing image scale with my Canon 600D APS-C sensor is 0.88 and 0.98 arc sec per pixel respectively so both proposed OSC cameras are similar in sampling or over sampling to be correct
Over sampling has worked for me to date ( I’ve been imaging for just over 2 years ) and it’s only when seeing and transparency is really poor I have some issues with my images. The biggest issue I have with my DSLR is noise during the summer months or even warmer nights in spring and autumn. The cooled OSC Camera should eliminate this issue. The DSLR has been a great camera and still is (I will still use it ) but I think I’m ready to make the upgrade later this year
I keep things simple that’s why I use Newtonian reflectors for imaging , plenty of aperture and good focal length , although I would like to push my FL to 1200mm but that’s another story
Thanks again and I hope other Astrophotographers can chime in with comments
