I am wanting to try and slowly get more equipment but I want to do it so that the piece of equipment I buy will be compatible with the new equipment further on.
For example, if I get a tracker for my DSLR, is it going to be compatible with a telescope later on?
It seems to me that you eventually want to go from lenses to an astrograph or a serious imaging refractor. In which case I would recommend a good EQ mount with enough payload capacity. EQ5 maybe? I started with an EQ6 and I thought that was too big
