This is an interesting setup for widefield astrophotography. It is a Rubinar 4.5/300 telephoto lens engaged to a CCD camera. Usually we find telephoto lenses on SLR cameras or DSLR. But it is also possible to use a CCD camera with the lens as a way to save some costs (avoiding to buy a DSLR body) and getting other advantages from the CCD detector.
