Camera for Vixen FL55 303mm refractor

fl55

Dear community, I would seek your advice to decide between the uncooled 178MC, 290MC or 224MC. My scope is a 55mm / 303mm fluorite which I use for DSO and planetary/moon ( I know, not optimal) observation and imaging with my Olympus OM-D-E-M2. I bought the Asiair guiding package and as Asiair cannot control the Olympus I think about buying a dedicated Camera.

There always will be compromise in my setup but für mixed DSO/planetary/moon use which of the three cameras (178, 290 or 224) would you suggest?

I'd like to upscale the final pictures in Photoshop and print A4 to A3 size. I tried this with the 120mm mini I use for guiding and it is not as bad as expected.

Thanks for your piece of advice.

I would recommend ASI178 since it has bigger sensor in three of this. You can simulate the FOV in stellarium.

Thank you very much. I will do the simulations as suggested.
