Redcat 51 and ASI585MC

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.

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.

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

Anytime

AND you can use 1.25" filter that are a lot cheaper!
