Hi everyone
New to the forum as well as astronomy. I have always been interested in astronomy and ever since I was a little boy have wanted to go into space. (I still do actually lol)
But I have never taken the step towards astronomy until now. I'm looking to get a setup that will allow me to see Deep space objects and also take some pictures.
This is the package that was recommended to me (Bintel BT200 f/5 HEQ5 Pro GOTO, 200mm x 1000mm, HEQ5 Pro GOTO URL->
http://www.bintel.com.au/Telescopes/...oductview.aspx ), which I do plan on buying when I return from an overseas holiday in May. Now I don't understand exactly whats included, and what the specs mean.
Am I gonna need anything else to view and photograph Deep space? I already have a Canon 600d DSLR which I plan to use for the photo taking. How would I track objects while taking long exposure shots? I've done a little research but its all very new to me and theres alot of info to take in.
I'd like to hear your feedback on the package the guy at Bintel recommended me, and if you have any other suggestions of what other packages I can get.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Kev
