Pryce Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 So I've seen a lot of people say that the 600D is better for astrophotography, but as far asI can tell they use virtualyidentical internals. Including the same sensor. Other than the movable LCD screen I cant actually see any difference between the two. Can anyone tell me exactly what makes the 600D better for AP?

As mentioned its the articulated screen...the 550D does have an ace up its sleeve though as it can record a 1:1 crop video for Planets.

Alan So basically, since I'll be using APT and will not be doing planetary imaging at all it doesn't really matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are always going to be using APT then it might not matter too much but the image you get on the camera screen is better. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Doesn't the 600 do that as well? It's certainly capable of some kind of crop for planetary imaging. Articulated screen is VERY useful even if you are imaging on a laptop / computer. I use it coupled with live view and a bhatinov mask to confirm focus while I'm at the rig rather than going too and fro from laptop to rig etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 60D is the other camera with a 1:1 movie crop mode according to this website: https://www.astropix.com/html/i_astrop/eq_tests/canon_one_to_one_pixel_resolution.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
