ccd calculator software

[ncjunk]

Anyone know where I can download the software to calculate field of view for different scope camera combinations?

There is one that I have installed on my main computer which I can´t seem to find on the internet anymore (its the one that comes with a book)

Also can someone confirm if imaging at 0.83 arcsecs per pixel is probably pushing it a bit too much for average seeing conditions?

Thanks

0.8"/pix? You don't say where you live, if in Arizona or Chile - no problem. If in the UK, forget it. (assuming we are talking DSO's).

The only way you can make that sort of sampling rate work for you is with Adaptive Optics. Otherwise it's time to start binning!

yep, thats what I thought. Thanks for the replies.

I live in northern spain but you can basically take that as being UK weather...it fact it has been bucketing down for the last week here with thunderstorms.
