Upgrading ZWO camera
Posted: Fri Oct 16, 2020 2:21 pm
I presently have a ZWO 224 colour camera I use with my Celestron 6 SE and .63 reducer for Nebs and galaxies. The FOV for this setup is .33 by .22 degrees. This does not allow me to plate solve and it makes stacking in SharpCap very difficult in some instances. It also makes it difficult to find objects unless my alignment is bang on.
So I am looking for a new camera to get me a bigger FOV which I think will make my life much easier. I have looked at the ZWO 533 and 294 both are cooled. I am into EAA and really don't need a cooled camera as it will limit my altitude. Is there any other cameras that will get me what I want without the cooling? The larger FOV the better but remember it is a 6 inch scope.
Thanks Mark
