Hi,
Found ZWO ASI 2400MC Pro as highest pixel size camera in latest range of OSC series by ZWO.
https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/product/asi2400mc-pro

Want to know how good is 5.94 um pixel size matters in real world applications with OSC camera.
Particularly interested in imaging from city sky.
As the camera selection guide suggest to get higher pixel size camera for better imaging during poor sky quality does it practically matters in real world examples?

Seen really great images by 294MC Pro & 071 MC Pro earlier, does it extends more with 2600 MC-Pro model?

I currently have ZWO 1600MM-Pro which I use from city sky. Does 2600 MC-Pro outperform 1600 MM-Pro with LRGB?

Thanks!

There are some so so asi2600 and asi294 images here:
mostly average to poor, seeing Bortle 5, 30km from 120K population city.

No asi2400 though.

We use the 2400 with a C11 quite a bit. Bortle 8/9.

I got the ZWO 2400MC as I have just started astrophotography and wanted to transition to a dedicated cooled camera from my Nikon Z7. I was already using full frame and I didn’t want the extra-large files from the ZWO 6200MC. I am very happy with the 48 MB files from the ZWO 2400MC. I image from Bortle 6 skies and as a noob with less than a year of experience…
