I'm thinking of moving from my modded DSLR to the CCD mentioned.

Is this camera suitable for my Primaluce 65f quad?

What FOV will i get? sorry but the FOV calculator doesnt list that CCD.

Thanks.

From memory the sensor is the same size as an Atik 314L

Your camera is listed in this FOV Calculator in any case.....

Thanks,  i used the resource link at the top, 12dstring looks better thanks.

Now i just need to know if it will work well with my quad with built in field flattener.

Help please anyone, i dont want to waste my money but is s a great used price i think at under £500.

Cant see why it wouldnt work - a call to a Primaluce retailer should get you confirmation?

I had one of these cameras and I loved it. The FOV with your telescope according to my own calculator would be 1 degree 13.5 min  x  54.9 min.

There is no reason why it shouldn't work well with your widefield Primaluce 65f quad although, of course, a larger sensor would make better use of the field available to you.

Under £500.00 for a camera of this calibre is good value (mine cost £1800 in 2006!).

Thanks guys, i think i'll take it.

Bit late but I agree with the others. You will surely have more than enough flat field. You'll need a capture programme, remember.
