dslr's are more worth it for budget setups, since they typically have more sensor real estate (larger FOV), can be modified, and are cheaper. normally, if you get a dedicated astro cam, it's for one of three reasons: narrow field planetary, mono imaging, or active cooling.

that’s not really related—if you want to gather more photons you want a larger pixel size, but that also depends on your focal length & tracking because you dont want oversampling or undersampling. in general a mainstream aps-c sensor is a great bang-for-buck, quality introductory camera

Hi, the 585 has a rather small sensor compared to the DSLR. But the QE is much higher and also you don't have an IR/UV filter in front. Ideally you will want alarger sensor for a widefield like 73 - I am at 72 and would love APSC size 🙂 But the 585 is a good sensor - no amp glow - nice pixel size. I ordered it myself. It always depens on the targets you wanna shoot
With 73mm you can do planets with Barlow eg. Won't be like big FLs though.

@rigid nebula This is the same sensor size as 585 but it's the 482
I know I couldve rotated but I just test the rig - we had clouds over two months now
Get stellarium. And punch in the data of scope and sensors. or go telescopius
there you will get a feeling
