Hi,

I currently have a modded Nikon D5300 but I am considering getting a ZWO ASI585MC Pro. Before that, I'm doing some simulations on Telescopious to compare with my current one, but I'm not sure if I should set the crop factor to 1x or if I should increase it (as the ZWO has a sensor smaller than a "full-frame" camera).

What would be the right setting for this?

Thanks!!
Javier

What cropping? None of the sort, you just enter the sensor info and you are set.

Thanks @andrea tasselli 

That's what I was suspecting, but I wasn't sure it would be the right setting. For my Nikon, apart from the sensor info, I also have to set up the cropping factor so I can have a very accurate simulation. If I leave the Cropping to 1x with that camera selected, the field of view on telescopious is larger than the actual one, hence my question.

Cheers,
Javier
