But before spending money on a camera I would suggest you think about the mount side of things, not only will you need an equatorial mount but a good one, a good starting point is a eq6 (approx $2000) but go to $10,000 if you want, even more..and there is a message there..the mount is it when it comes to astro photos.

Second hand could be the way to go, I'll have to check out that well known auction site. I can't foresee any way I would ever be spending $2000
on a mount .... maybe if I win big on the lotto.

The only things I have photographed through the Dob are the moon and Jupiter. An EQ platform is on my list of things to build one day. Any non-solar system image I post has been done on my two bits of wood hinged together StarTracker
