I am a complete noob in ALL aspects; optics, mechanics, using tools, DSLR photography, astronomy ... did I miss anything?

I get impatient now and feel the pressure... because very soon, I will have to start looking for a new job and then go to work all day. I won't have the time nor the energy, anymore, to fiddle and figure and find out about things - like I did for the past 3 months.

And I am not there, yet. Simply not there, yet.


Sorry for the rant.

Hahahaha , we've all gone through that phase at one stage or another Silv. It's all part of the big learning curve. Half the fun is solving the problems and learning the lessons I reckon. One of the reasons I love it anyway, I NEED a challenge to keep me focussed.
Hang in there and it will all come together. I can post a few pix of my prime setup and the components if it helps. You do need manual control.
I set mine for BULB and use a remote timer cable as the max is 30 secs without. Also means I don't have to touch anything to start the exposure.
