hey guys,

I'm not into Astrophotography but wanted some feedback on something i've been curious about..

Most of the images seem to be taken by either using a dedicated astro photography camera or SLR in "prime" mode and attaching to the scope.

in each instance there is no eyepiece in between i.e. the camera attaches directly to the OTA of the telescope.

How then does one get the "magnification" required to view DSO's?

is it through significant cropping?

Always wondered about this one so if someone can enlighten me that would be great.

cheers
Jeelan
