You can do some awesome things with MFT cameras and sensors. One of their largest advantage is that most scopes do not vignette the sensor as they do with larger sensors. I often see many photos that have huge integration time added to them to compensate for the vignetting.

I have the opposite situation. My m.43 cameras capture about 1/4 of my 1500mm scope’s image circle. So in effect the scope is a FF lens.

I find the m.43 sensor is great for compact objects like Globular Clusters, and especially planets where the high pixel density delivers more detail.

Majority of scopes though are not that long.

My scope is what it is

And using something that long takes a lot of skill.

It's my scope and I use it. I made no comment on the degree of difficulty

My longest scope is 1000mm Fl. And I wold never wish on someone starting out to attempt anything with a FL longer then 300mm.

Ok then, but I wasn't recommending anything to anybody
