Hey all again,
I keep thinking about the cameras choices for my scopes i want to use and also lenses, but anything i can think about will be at certain costs so i have to think very careful of which option or which idea is worth it so i don't regret it.
I am having 3 scopes to be my main imaging medium to moderate wide field, but i have to choose different cameras to match FOV, i keep thinking about FOV more than anything even if different apertures but same FL, and then later software can align and match it if possible, so i have different ideas or scenarios to do it, which one do you prefer to do if you are in my place?
1. Using 2x 90mm f/6 + 0.8x reducer to give 432mm FL, paired with IMX571 cameras, and then buying another two IMX571 cameras to use one with 106mm f/6.6 scope + getting 0.6x reducer to bring it to 420mm FL so almost close to 432mm, and using my Canon lens EF 300mm f/2.8 with TC 1.4x to make it 420mm so it is same as 106mm scope at 420mm also with IMX571 camera.
2. Using 2x 90mm f/6 + 0.8x with 294 cameras Bin 2 mode locked, and buying 183 camera to use with EF 300mm f2.8 native, and using IMX571 camera with 106mm f/6.6 and the dedicated came with 0.75x reducer, they are all at almost same FOV, and they are all at idea sampling.
3. Another scenario where i can use my two 90s + 0.8x or without reducer and 106mm and extra scope/lens, i have two IMX571 cameras already [one mono and one color] + QHY294M-Pro which i can use it at two modes, so either two extra IMX571 which will cost me more as then i need one extra scope, or just one camera to what i have and either use what i have of 3 scopes + 1 lens or just buy another scope to insert it there somewhere, after all i want to have 4 scopes [or lens] + 4 cameras, i will use separated scopes if possible.
So with above options or ideas i want to reach the final decision so i don't regret, i don't like 533 square format, and i love IMX571 sensor but they increased the price of this sensor from the Chinese brand i bought before so it means i should look at ZWO/QHY/P1 models which are still more expensive than initial prices of the other brand i bought before [ToupTek/RisingCam], i don't know how long i can wait until they reducer the prices and return back to old prices or that might never happen, and i didn't use my QHY294M really to justify its performance, and going with 183 sensor is kind of downgrading from IMX571, but is sampling more important than newest cleaner sensor or not?
So, what do you suggest? Going with F2 scopes is never an option for me and i am not willing to.
