Good to hear. Everything is coming together nicely. I think I shall be purchasing things in stages.
By the looks of things my progression will be:
- Barn door mount w/ 400D and a range of lenses ~ $20
- Upgrade to 550D ~$650
- EQ... ~$1000 > $2000?
- Is the EQ5 going to be appropriate, or do I need an EQ6? Is the 2nd hand market the best place
- ?Then a dob? Is that right? One of these?
