Hi all,
Im just starting to become interested in astrophotography and I figured this would be a great place to ask the question you all hear a lot I guess..
I would like to know, as I am just starting out into astrophotography, what would be the best telescope to use? I'm assuming that I will need a camera mount instead of an eye piece, I've looked around the forums a bit and I see a lot of people steering newbies towards the saxon deepsky 8" dobsonian, what I'm concerned about with that one is there doesnt appear to be a tripod, as I will be taking the telescope out into the outback with me wouldnt this be something I would need? My camera is a nikon D5300 if that helps..
Thanks :-)
