After finally getting my hands on my new DLSR, a Nikon D3100, I was excited to see the difference between the photo I had taken through the eye piece of my telescope with my phone, and one taken with my new camera through prime focus photography. This means attaching the camera directly to the telescope using an adapter.
Here is the result:
OTA: 120mm Achromatic Refractor
Camera: Nikon D3100 14.2mp
Mount: CG-4 mount
Exposure: 1/2sec approx
ISO: 800
It's easy to see that the result is much better. I took this photo while the moon was waxing, which gives much more detail in the craters.
