Re the tiny field of view on the tiny camera chip:
I noticed that by moving the camera on the focuser barrel, I got different parts of the whole image that was visible through the eye piece.
is there a device that would allow the camera position to be adjusted while mounted in prime focus? I mean, without having to move the whole telescope? or will the FOV be bigger once the camera is properly mounted?
if such a device exists, it must be somehow determined by the focuser model it will sit in. or rather, the focuser model will be determined by that device and the focal point of the t-mounted cam.
Ah... a
Focal Reducer enhances the field of view.
Hm, ... it works with glass. I can't afford good glass at this stage.
It might be possible to get a device which can move the camera while mounted.
I could then take several partial images of the whole sky covered by the secondary as seen through an eye piece - and stitch the images together, later on.
my way of googling this does not yield results.
Lunch now. Then job search.
