Best camera choice for Samyang 135mm or Redcat 51 V2 - Forums

I can't decide which camera to choose.
ASI 533MC Pro or ASI294MC Pro. The lens will be a Samyang 135mm F2 or maybe I'll buy a Redcat 51 V2.
I'm thinking about a Mono version for these. The question is which one would be better for these telescopes.

Thanks in advance for the answers

If you go with the telescope, the 533mc would be my preference if you can get over the square sensor. Only because of the age and calibration requirements of the 294mc. cheers

This is the full field and resolution you can expect with a Samyang 135 and 533 camera.
You shuld of course go mono for added fun, says me and post a mono image

Sh2-275 in Ha - Samyang f/2.0

Between the two, the 533 is of far better quality. You may also want to consider an IMX585-based camera for more flexibility in framing. Budget options are available from various brands like Touptek, PlayerOne, and Ogma.

thank you very much for the answers.
mono camera is not possible due to budget.
I would only buy zwo brand because I use asi air pro.
But thank you very much for the other brand idea.

I have a tandem 135mm and I like the ASI183MC PRO and ASI2600MC PRO. I also really like widefield Astrophotography, hence the reason I have those cameras.
