I need a cheap non-analog camera for my 20-50x50mm Yukon Monoscope. So far i've used my 8 mpix smartphone. Pic is related from a week ago. The quality of the real view is way more clear and i want to capture that. I've got little clue on photography. I'n not planning on spending more than 100 bucks. Used from ebay or amazon is totally fine with me. Any suggestions?

Problem with astro is our atmosphere. To get sharper, clearer images you need to take lots of shots in burst and then stack them

To get a good camera for what you're doing will depend on your setup, whilst a full frame camera has the best quality the image circle projected from your telescope may be too small and not cover the whole sensor. Ideally you want a camera that creates an image marginally larger than your projected image circle.

To start off, I'd just get an old Sony nex 5 or a5100 and T2 mount adapter, and see how you get along, if you don't have a T2 mount on your scope, then you're going to have to upgrade your scope first.

Terrible, terrible advice. Those are not suitable for astro, menu and controls are fucked and you have terrible image quality.

OP, get a used DSLR like the Canon SL1 or SL2, those are much better suited for astro and have better Ha transmittency in the filter stack

I actually used a NEX-5 for astro and it sucked balls, Ha is practically nonexistent.
Canon DSLRs has a specially designed IR cut filter that has a "bulge" in the transmittance curve around Ha so it still gives around 20-30% of light. It is a well known fact for anyone going into astro.

looks like you have a severe chromatic aberration problem
another camera won't correct it, the image looks better when looking through the thing because our brains are incredible image processors

OP here. It's actually not that bad by far, due to the camera not being parallel it increases it by a lot + wiggling and it's a compressed picture. With your eyes it look really nice.

I might get a telescope at some point, but currently i just like to gawk at landscapes and make pictures if i find it pretty. A digital screen would prevent my eyes getting sore and a fitting adapter to the lense would keep it from wobbling and make better pictures.

T mount adapter, old rebel or any DSLR.

Literally pick one. For moon, the more MP the better, as you have a fixed focal length and will be cropping 90% of your image. I've used webcams modded for prime focus for moon/planetary.

You can get sharp shots of the moon without stacking, but that monoscope looks like it has awful chrom abs. Idk if a better camera will help. That said, this anon has good advice >>3891738

Imaging anything other than the moon will require a serious investment in scope and mount. You can do serious astro with one of those rebels, but you need a good scope and good equatorial tracking mount.
