SGP Settings for C8 w/ Focal Reducer, OAG, Filter Wheel and ASI1600

Hi there,

I am trying out a brand new imaging train I’ve never tried before. I’ve had this equipment for several years and have used it separately with other cameras/scopes but never together. My new train is as follows…

C8->.7x Focal Reducer->OAG->8 Position FW->ASI 1600.

My question is in regards to the settings in SGP. I am not quite sure what needs to change from my other setup in the “Settings and Specs” category especially “Scale” “Readout Noise” and “Pixels”. Perhaps someone is using this same equipment and can help me out, or guide me as to how I can find out this correct info before I head out to image with it?

Thank you in advance.

Therer are several sites you can use such as Imaging Toolbox – Blackwater Skies where you can plug in your equipment configuration and the scale info you need will be displayed, in your case .55"/pixel. The readout noise graph and pixel info can be found on the Zwo website under your camera info heading.
