Welcome to IIS
Look like you have already done some research into the hobby which is a great start
I spent about 8 months reading books , journals, looking at YouTube’s , visiting telescope shops etc.. before I bought my 1st telescope. It’s really important to get some fundamental information and background before jumping in the deep end with this hobby
If your intending on buying an NEQ6 Mount for visual and or Astrophotography then I’m happy to provide my step by step information to set it up. I have a few Skywatcher mounts which I use in Sydney and at my weekender south coast NSW. I’m 4 years into the hobby with so much still to learn ( still a beginner)
Don’t hesitate to ask questions no matter how simple or irrelevant they may seem, there are many IIS members willing to help you along your Astro journey
Good luck and Clear Skies
Martin
