I’ve spent about 6K to date after 18 months into the hobby
My 10” dob and 6” OTA were only a small chunk of the money spent to date
The bulk of the money went into the HEQ5 mount , Televue eyepieces and Powermates, DSLR filters, moon filters, illuminated reticle eye pieces, dioptrix, adaptors finder scopes etc, etc.......
If I went down the path of using refractors and CCD cameras etc....up front who knows what I would have spent to date ( probably well over 10K )
I’m taking my journey into the world of astronomy cautiously step by step ( learning and researching as much as you can plus help from fellow IIS members can save you waisting money along the way )
