Greetings all
First up, thanks for the add..
My name's Craig and am an avid amateur photographer thats looking to go down the slippery slope of Astrophotography, I know this will end up expensive but if I don't spend the money the kids will..

My current knowledge of Astronomy is limited at best so expect quite a few basic questions, but I do know what a search button is for and do love a challenge.
So understanding that the Nebula photography is the end game and there is a lot of learning between now and then am I better starting off with a cheap 150/750 Sky Watcher style scope (I can pick up a'n old Optex 750/150 on what looks like a eq3 mount all manual for a couple of hundred bux) and learn the skies and equipment techniques or go straight to building the end equipment and start saving for a higher end HEQ5 style mount and build from there?
Thanks in advance
Kaff
