Camera for 16" Dobsonian

[bluesilver]

Hi,  firstly i have to apologise as i think this a similar post that has been posted before,   but for some reason i can no longer find that post to get the answers that i am chasing down.

 

So basically i have a 16" Skywatcher GOTO Dobsonian and what i am looking to do it attach a camera to it for a go at doing some imaging.

I was mainly going to start of with planetary imaging then possible do some imaging of nebulars and galaxies a bit latter.

The thing is,  i was fairly sure there was a post on here somewhere that someone was looking at doing the same thing but with a 12" Dobsonian.

I think i remember that someone posted a link to a site that allowed you to put you telescope details in and camera details in and it tells you if the camera is suited of not to that scope and the imaging you wanted to do.

The scope is rated at f 4.4,  focal length of 1800mm,  aperture of 406mm

 

I think some did mention that you need a small sensor for planets and a large sensor of DSO,   but could be wrong there.

I was looking at something like the Atik Infinity Colour camera,  but could be also wrong here again.

 

But if anyone can point me in the right direction again it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
