Hi there,
Been in the visual astronomy game for a while now and am looking to go to the next level
I am considering to take the plunge and am looking into getting into some basic astrophotography to start and would appreciate some of your good advice. Yes, I know this is another money pit I could fall into, but here goes!!!
I love nightscapes so would definitly start here and see how it goes. Would also like to dabble into imaging planets etc. I have a Nexstar 8SE & a 12" Dob and understand their limitations in the imaging space so would not initially expect too much.
I have a budget of about +- $800. Any suggestions on which camera would be best suited to my needs and budget
would be most appreciated. Reading through the forums Canon seems to be the way to go, also my preference.
And what accessories would I need to get started? Would have to look at a half decent mount of course. But what about T-Rings, an intervalometer etc. are they necessary?
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
