Hi everyone,
Im pretty new to astronomy and astrophotography, and would really appreciate some suggestions on what gear i should start off with.
I have purchased a C8-SGT on a CG5 mount, which i have been using for a few months now, but would really like to move into taking some photos. I am looking at purchasing a cooled mono CCD camera + filters etc, but i dont know if this is too large of a step to start off with.
So my questions for now are:
1. Should i start off with some DSLR imaging, or is going for a CCD straight away easy enough?
2. I am looking at an 8300 chipped CCD such as the QHY9. Is this a good camera, or is there another which would be a better choice?
3. What would be a good autoguiding setup for this scope?
Thank you in advance for your help!
