hi Jason,
Firstly, you can start taking photos without a mount.
timelapses can be good or landscape shots. for example this is just me playing around with a new (cheap) lens (canon 50mm f1.8), no tracking mount

Secondly if you are handy and have some time you could build your own tracking mount

what lenses do you have? the star adventurers are pretty new from memory so it may be hard to find second hand one. more likely a polarie or similar.
edit just saw someone has posted in the forum using one recently
