Hi everyone, I've been interested in astrophotography for a long time but never really did anything about it. When the full lunar eclipse started the other week I took some photos and really enjoyed it and so I decided I wanted to buy proper equipment.
I have two questions though.
First: Is it worth starting cheap to buying more expensive and future proofing? I want to take deep space photos but I'm worried the higher end equipment(Or should I say not bottom tier equipment) may include a much higher complexity to it.
Second: Where can I buy this stuff? I was recommended a
][/B]AT6in imaging newtonian but I can't find ANYTHING on this telescope in Australia. Would buying it from overseas be viable?
Thanks for the help.
Edit: Oh, also just in case it matters this is the gear I was recommended.
