The following website was mentioned in passing on a ZWO video on YouTube.
I have used the sensor & pixel size calculator tool for my 6" f/8 H-alpha and my 180mm f/12 iStar refractor with and without Barlows. The coloured bar at the bottom of each screen shows the suitability of the ZWO ASI174 camera sensor match to each instrument. Though the emphasis seems to be on deep sky rather than Solar, Lunar or Planetary imaging. Better seeing conditions make the present instrument camera options more suitable. Precision guiding is assumed with longer focal lengths. The ASI174 is know to have a modestly sized sensor with large pixels. It is a popular camera for Solar imaging.

The details are in the boxes. The Astronomy Tools Calculator can find the sensor and pixel size from entering the camera model.
