Shooting with a reflector
G'day, I have a 6 inch with a 750mm tube newtonian reflector, It is only a cheapie but I am going to have a go at using it for Astrophotography.
Firstly can any body tell me what the equivalent refractor would be in size, Is the six inch reflector the equal of a 60mm refractor with a 600mm tube?
Now as for taking the photos, I need to get a T piece and a dslr ring to attach the camera to the scope, but I am confused as to what the purpose is,
To attach the camera I will need to remove the eyepiece, but then wouldn't I just be taking an unmagnified photo as the magnifiying part of the scope will not be there??
Does the mirror play any part in the magnification of the image???
