Will these work together


Recommended Posts

It would be helpful if you explained what you intended to do with that camera and 5 SE and ASIAR, and whether you expect your 11 year old daughter to be able to operate it.

From the information you have provided, I would say that this combination of kit is not going to do anything useful.  The 5 SE is not suitable for deep-space astrophotography.  If you want to do planetary astrophotography, a colour camera would be a better choice, and an ASIAR will not be needed.

Hello cviacona and welcome to the site. Not sure if you have found it yet but in the resources section in the top menu you will find a field of view tool. This will give you an idea of what you could see both visually using the supplied eyepiece and from your chosen camera. 

I am not sure that the celestron mount is compatible with the asiair so please check that with your supplier. If they are not compatible then the camera, being a usb device, can be plugged straight into a laptop and images can be obtained using the free zwo software saving the need for the asiair.

All the best.

The ASI585MC colour camera that was added to the spec would do for Planetary work.

Though a smaller sensor would probably still be big enough for most planets, but not the moon.

And would be cheaper.

The tiny 2.9um pixels means it's Oversampling if it it was used for DSO work.
