Best fit for this focal length / telescope?

Anima420

Hey, I've wondered what camera would be the best fit for my TS-Optics 72mm F6 Apo (TSAPO72F6).
Focal length is 432mm and aperture is 72mm.
I am wondering about the pixel size that would fit best. I don't know much about it.
What pixel size would be the best? I plan to shoot DSOs with a cooled camera. Full frame is not a must but APS-C would be good to have a "wide field". I got a 178mc for planetary imaging already.
Any advice for cameras with the best pixel pitch and size?
Kind regards

Have you tried the Astronomy tools CCD suitability calculator? It also depends on your typical seeing but according to the rules of thumb you should select a camera with a pixel size between approx. 1.5µm and 4µm. Sensor size is entirely up to you depending on how large a FOV you want and how much money you want to spend, the scope can handle anything up to full frame sensors.

Yes, Jarno is right. You can calculate using this tool to find out which camera is suitable.
