Hello, I am new in astrophotography and I would like to know if anyone has experience using the WO Redcat 51 with the ASI585MC, I found very nice pictures here but I saw that as the camera doesn't have a large sensor is not good for the redcat. What would you think about it? Thank you a lot. Nicolas |

Hello, Hey Nicolas, The 585 is a great camera unfortunately it has a small sensor as you said and the RedCat 51 has a wide FOV. What does that mean, it means that your field of view is going to be smaller, approximately 1/4 the size of a DSLR camera (APS-C). Lets say you want to take a picture like this for example https://www.astrobin.com/fqkjww/C/ to achieve the same you will have to take 4 panels to get the same picture. Cs Ahmed |

Hi Ahmed, Thanks a lot for your answer. Would you say that the best option then for this telescope is a DSLR? Do you see other issue rather than that? Clear skies, Nicolas |

If you look on astrobin explore equipment, check out images with a redcat and see the cameras that are paired with it. Mirrorless are better than dslrs and astro dedicated are even better. it depends on your budget and plan. so i have a fra400 that I will be using with the 585 for now, my plan is to go for an asi2600mm soon, even though I own 2 dslrs. If I fall short on my budget I’d go for the 533. but all of this is relative you have to know what you wanna do ahmed |

| With a small camera you can get perfect zoom, nor any problem with vignetting, and you don't need a field flattener, look at my images with 585 and Evostar 72ED |

Nicolas:With a small camera you can get perfect zoom, nor any problem with vignetting, and you don't need a field flattener, look at my images with 585 and Evostar 72ED It's really similar, small sensor (13x9 vs 12x6), small pixel (near 3um), same pro! The 2 major differences with these cameras are, cooling, and APS-C dimension (24x16) |
