Good camera for a Meade LXD 75 reflector???


GCG-Observatory

Recommended Posts

Having returned to the hobby after a busy 10 years raising kids, working away etc, I am looking to get back into imaging at a more serious level than I did a decade ago. But I am overwhelmed however at the number of options in cameras available, and the technology has moved on so much, from my Starlight Xpress days.

Can anyone suggest/recommend a good CCD/CMOS camera for a 10inch Meade LXD75 Schmidt Newtonian? I believe with different focal lengths of telescope you need to be careful what camera you use? I am particularly interested in imaging galaxies, nebulae etc, but very much open to also being able to image planet's, lunar also.  

I do not mind colour or mono, just want the best bang and images for my buck.

Thanks for any help.

Hi, why don't you experiment with this  utility to see what is best for your setup, it is very valuable to find out pixel size and scope matching etc. also there a field of view section at the top of the screen. I'm using mainly a ds616cxl+ and sx825m on my 8" newt f3.9 but others will have something different. tony https://astronomy.tools/calculators/ccd_suitability
