A long video of the harmonic mount autoguiding on a star using PhD autoguiding. 125 lbs. of simulated optics is attached. The FOV for the vid calculates to 16.7 x 22.4 arc minutes.
..Check out Ron Wodaski's CCD Calculator, Nice Program and its Free, it may help you with your questions regarding pixel sampling..
i.e. 152.4mm Newt @ F5 using DSIpro binned 1x1 = 2.31as/px
..i've got an LX200 Mak and the PE was 11.6as before training and 3.94as after, then using SBIG ST4000 & AO-8 setup i'm able to get 900sec exposures no problem.. anyhow thx for your videos, hope the calc helps..
.
..Also CCDware has an Exposure Calc you might be able to use to help decide optimum exposure times..
