Question

I've been successfully using my Canon T1i for astrophotography, but with Black Friday specials being tossed in my direction, I wonder if it's time to upgrade to the Canon T6i, or even the T7i? We're talking about the T1i's 15 MP versus the T6i's 24 MP sensors. Am I correct in thinking that the greater number of available pixels of the T6i would be an advantage in lunar, solar and planetary imaging but not necessarily in deep sky imaging? A quick look at the T7i's specs make it look pretty much like a T6i's but with maybe more wi-fi options, which I have no use for (I don't have a cell phone). Besides, BJ's is not offering the newer model anyway. Thank you for reading and, hopefully, responding.
Bob Z.

It is not pixel count that is important, but pixel size and sensor size. They need to be matched to your equipment and your typical imaging conditions. Both the T6i and T7i have APS-C sized
