Hi this will start some discussion I hope
Starting from scratch with a budget of $5k I'm looking for suggestions for an initial rig as a basis to build on. I'd like to start with some astrophotography (low end) with the option upgrade this part later as long as the initial optics/mount investment is up to it.
I'm open to suggestions - be nice

. Just some suggested combos of gear to start looking at. Especially what to avoid.
Once again all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Viking
