Hi Folks.
I recently joined IceInSpace (3 days ago to be exact) and it was purely accidental. Took photos of the crescent moon last Friday (the 13th) and wanted to know in particular which planets were those four bright lights around the moon. Googled it and saw this forum.
I am a lover of the moon and the night sky and take gazillion photos of it from time to time.
I've never done sky/star gazing or photography using a telescope though but now my interest has been stimulated (very dangerous when that happens!).
Now, i'm interested in doing astrophotography but don't know which telescope would be appropriate. I've done a bit of reading online for the last day but still not sure which one I should get. Would greatly appreciate if the experts out there can give me a heads up on what's what. I'm after a middle range telescope that I can use for astrophotography. Would be great too if it can be used during the daytime to take photo's of other faraway stuff but if not possible, then i'll settle with the one I can use for the night sky.
Appreciate whatever help you guys are willing to dish out!
Cheers!
Chris
