Sony SLT DSLR

Anyone using a Sony DSLR SLT like the A35 for astro on their scope? What is the light loss to the sensor from the fixed transluscent reflex mirror in 'stops'? TIA

I asked the same about a Donkey I just bought with no response I've ordered a t ring so will soon be trying it out for myself I wondered the same the viewfinder image looks better then the many cannon I've owned including a 5d mk2 and as for the transulsant mirror i dont know yet,I know canon are reguarded as the best for astrophotography but don't see why this camera cannot be used it would be fantastic if you could use the panoramic setting but I doubt very much anything would come out you can also view the panoramic in 3d if you have the right tv and it really works also the gps on the camera can come in handy for the setting on your mount if you don't have it built in.
