Hi All,
Thanks for the great advice, it gives me a lot to think about as I clearly had the impression that I could start cheap...ish. Well I have, but looking closer at some of my photos they do have the makings of star trails, with things not quite in focus. Reading through all the replies it definitely gives me something to think about,
Rod - Thanks I think the ASV is definitely something I will join once one of my major projects at work has come to an end in December.
Paul - Thanks, that is definitely what I was after before investing too heavily. I think I will get in touch with Phil Hart and see if I can organise a class with him.
Sil - Thanks for the thorough info. I prefer to stay clear from the GoTo models, as I like the idea and sense of achievement, of dialling in on an object (with I'm sure plenty of colourful language) rather than the 'set-and-forget' method.
I think for the time being I'll take on everyone's advice, do a bit more research and get in touch with people who know a lot more before investing. After googling the 'Star Adventurer' linked, and reading a few reviews it looks like a good solid first purchase when I get to that nerves to put down some money.
Thanks again.
Jakob
