Hi all, I am very new to telescopes but am learning, a slow process, but worthwhile. I am seeking a little bit of advice on astrophotography.
Before people tell me not to get in to astrophotography at this early stage I would like to make a statement. I am not looking to do this this year. I need to learn much more first.
I need to buy myself a half decent digital everyday dslr. Something I have been wanting to do for some years. I am not in the habit of updating things like cameras every year so I would like something that may be half reasonable to use as an intro to astrophotography.
I am currently looking at this (
http://www.ryda.com.au/ProductDetail...=D530055300BKT ). I have a fair background in photography (4 years of schooling - pre digital) and even larger background in computers (very few programs scare me). The budget is around $1000 and I am always concerned about cheap imports that have to get sent back to China for repairs/also ones where the menu language is in Arabic or Spanish. Also does anyone have any experience dealing with Ryda Dot Com in Sydney?
The initial use is everyday use but maybe to move on in time.
I am reading lots about astrophotography but I am having trouble creating a list of what to look for and what to avoid. I hope this all makes sense.
If it makes a difference I am using a Celestron Nexstar 4se. If anyone can suggest easy to understand online resources that would be great. I have read several articles/tutorials on this site, they have been great reading.
I look forward to your responses.
Andrew
