I did visual Astronomy for 17 years before I moved to Astrophotography. For me it was the right time to try, so it started with me learning to use a camera then taking short images of the Moon. From there I built a scope for the camera and was rewarded by details I could never imagine. It provided me with images that would normally be obtained from a larger scope. I kept it simple, using the limitation of what I have without too much technology.
I find it rewarding when the raw images are processed and it's just "WOW!" So for me, I'm happy with the results I've achieved and better opportunities await me.
And like visual Astronomy, it is trial and error, but the rewards
outweigh the efforts.
Cheers!
