Found this image (not mine) in an article on the annular solar eclipse which occurred yesterday in Africa, Indian Ocean, and South-East Asia. The caption beneath the image, in German, says:

Baghdad: Members of the Academy of Astronomy in Iraq observe the solar eclipse with telescopes.

Nope, it's one of the a200-a350 cameras. The "a" at the upper right is too high to be an A100, and there is a change in the contour from the prism hump to the lens mount, which eliminates the "+30" line and the 4-5XX line. The strap attachment is clearly of the plastic-bodied camera variety.

Whateverthecase, the camera is nothing compared to that beauty of a telescope! Hubba-hubba! Talk about lens-lust... 3048mm f/10, and it comes with a Sony GPS unit.
