I only started astrophotography in February this year
Bought a 6” f6 Bintel GSO scope with 900mm focal length for $299 and a new SW HEQ5 mount $1200 ,borrowed my wife’s 8 year old Canon 600D and polar align using the old drift method. I can get exposures of up to 60 to 80 seconds without star trailing (no guiding yet , l’m setting that up in August )
Basic bear bones beginner kit has got me imaging pretty good ( oh yes and no stacking or processing yet either , just single images ( buying a laptop in August as well )
Take a look at a few of my images attached
Can’t beat a newt !!! Great little scope
Cheers
