Hi Richard
Just a word of warning from someone who still bears the fresh wounds and scars of astro photography, even after 10 years in the game using good gear!
It is a challenging aspect of our hobby; the demands on you, your equipment, your set up procedures, acquiring objects, focusing them, getting enough data and then processing it, are all quite significant.
There are many talented astro photographers here on Ice In Space producing wonderful images with a wide range of equipment, spanning a huge price range, but underlying each image are many failures, setbacks and much frustration!
Take your time in learning the craft and don’t be put off by the set backs. Work through each problem you encounter and try to reduce its impact – one more out of the way.
My experience is that there is no magic bullet or perfect set up – even the gear at the top range of the market still requires a significant amount of user interaction to get the best out of it and sometimes, half the fun is in solving the niggling problems.
Good luck on the journey!
Cheers
Dennis
