I have been using my ASI2600 with my Esprit100 and the one thing that has given me a problem is that the 2600 has too large a sensor for many of the objects that I imaged. Many of these objects appear very small in the center of the image and I have to crop like crazy to get them to a point that I can work on them. At this point they have also lost a bit of clarity and are becoming fuzzy in areas.
I have an ASI585 on the way to use for these smaller objects. It has a sensor size of only 11.2 x 6.3 and has a smaller pixel size so I am hoping to get better resolution and larger objects to work with.
The Starizona .65 reducer has an image circle of around ~30mm and I have heard about the issues with this reducer around the edges.
With a camera sensor width of only 11mm and the reducer having a 30mm circle it would seem that these edge issues would not be a problem for me under this setup. I would have over 9mm of empty space on the longest sides and much more on the short sides. I am not an expert on this so I thought I would ask to see if this is correct or I am missing something. I think I should be able to use under these circumstances.
Thanks for your help.
