Hi everyone,

I've been wanting to get into this for awhile and figured I should start cheap to make sure it's something I'll be into. I'm leaning more toward trying out landscape/DSOs.

Hoping to confirm what I'm looking for sounds good, budget is $500 and I'm starting with nothing:
DSLR: Canon 700D (alternatives?)
Lens: 18-55mm kit lens
Tripod: Not really sure, any recs?

Anything else I should be keeping an eye out for?
If I get a 700D body-only, are there other lenses I should consider?

I do have a SkyWatcher Heritage 130p telescope, although I'm guessing there's not much I can do with that + a DSLR?
