Hi all,
Am getting started with hobby astronomy, and would like to see on what journey it takes me. I'm from country NSW (mum and dads), so normally (apart from tonight) the skies are clear and can see near on everything.
So why not............
Am looking at a 12'' dob GOTO, they seem to be everyone's beginner recommendation scope (the dob), but just want to see wether or not in the future it would be possible to attempt
to take pics through this. Or at least a download onto a laptop. Is the only means to do this through CCD??
I figure I also need 3-4 quality eyepieces with a 2x barlow to give a few mag options, good star charts and a few books.
Kind of really only want to buy things once, so better spend up now than replace later.
Any other tips???
