Rigs

Every telescope with every camera

45 telescopes and 53 cameras from the catalogue make 2,185 pairings with a page. Each page is computed from the rows: image scale, field and sampling, the 13 framing targets, the corrector’s spacing, the mounts that carry it and the shortest sub under three skies.

200 pairings are left out because the sensor is larger than the stated image circle; each telescope's page lists them with the numbers. 17 catalogued cameras have no sensor size yet, so they pair with nothing.

Focal lengths here are native. A telescope’s page gives the focal length its pairings are computed at, with the corrector it needs or the reducer its maker sells. To choose between rigs on budget, sky and targets, use the Rig Reality Check.
