Hi all,

After a few years being absent from exploring the night sky, I'm looking into getting back into it and learn astrophotography with my Nikon d7100.

Can somebody advise whether this is decent setup to start with - a Saxon ED80 Refractor Telescope with GoTo EQ3 Mount? I'm debating whether to spend a little extra to upgrade to a EQ5 Mount.

Or is there a better budget-wise setup you can suggest?

Lastly, Is anybody using a dob for astrophotography? I'm getting mixed reviews and most keep pointing to a goto refractor scope.

Thanks all.
