Default What do I need for astro photography?

The third method, which is most common with DSLR cameras, is prime
focus coupling. Here you lose both the eyepiece and the camera's lens.
The path to the camera's chip is as pure as it gets - i.e. there's no
glass between it and the telescope's primary mirror. This is the route
you want to follow Jim.



But isn't the image at prime focus really tiny ?
