You don't need a camera to record what you see through a telescope.
For centuries the fathers of Astronomy recorded their observations by
drawing and noting what they saw. Some of their drawings had exquisite
detail, and others were rough sketches to simply record the observation.
The RASC offers several certificates for members who study and record their
observations of the sky with drawings. http://www.rasc.ca/certificates/index.shtml |
