Hi Christian , and welcome to IIS you will get a lot of help here and remember , there are no silly questions so ask away.
I am the opposite of the previous answer , been observing for 30 years and about 5 years ago decided to give AP a go , spent big
bucks on a CCD , fluorite refractor. , awsome goto mount , etc etc etc , but to cut a long story short found that it was not me. , sold every thing I had AP wise and now just love getting out under the night sky and observing , awesome stuff and now my sum total of shooting the sky is my phone camera through an eyepiece shooting the moon.
I second getting a nice Dobsonion mounted Newtonian 8-10 inch , good red torch �� and observing chair , these are really the single best accessory there is , as being comfortable when observing makes a lot of difference , best of all, just take your time and enjoy the learning curve. , it will last your lifetime.
Brian.
