Ill agree with alex here, its taken me nearly a year and a half to start figuring out the difference between an astrograph (telescope dedicated to astrophotography) and a visual scope.
sit down have a think about what you really like doing for a start its a Red Pill or Blue Pill decision, after that everything gets rather hazy.!
as for the different tribes of people on a dark sky site 100% astrophotography can be a very very frustrating hobby.! hope you have patience!
