Atik Apx26 Color Camera:
The Sweet Spot for Sensor Size in Astrophotography

Tthe APS-C sized IMX571 sensor on the Apx26 hits a sweet spot for many astrophotographers. Almost all astrograph telescopes on the market today can produce round stars in the corners on APS-C sensors, which makes the Apx26 a perfect fit for most imagers. The round body shape and narrow, 89mm diameter chassis also makes it a great fit for Celestron RASA and Hyperstar imagers without interfering with much of the light path.
