That was my initial thought.

If you put a ccd or similar at prime focus.say even a toucam.The field of view would be 31'x23' with a focal length of 444mm at F 1.2!
As you increased sensor size the field curvature of the prime image could be a problem.A meniscus lens would flatten the field.

The other problem would be getting an accurate focus and centering of the sensor.But the real time image would make it straightforward.
