Hi,
I'm looking for a tripod, mount and telescope. Mainly tripod and mount as my budget isn't high. I'd like to go with a full setup later with a guide scope.
I want to do astrophotography so ideally it'd be an equatorial mount. I've done it for a couple of months a few years ago and want to go back
I'm planning on getting a decent mount first and use my DSLR if I don't have the budget for a telescope right now.
I'd like to keep it light so I was looking at refractors. I'd like a Skywatcher Star Adventurer GTi or equivalent as it seems good enough within my budget.
My budget is about $1000, which isn't much but I can't spend too much right now.
Or it can be higher if I can pay you with my time if you need anything designed. I can also 3D print it or make a 2D drawing for machinists to use.
I'm in Melbourne. Thank you for reading
