Thanks for the responses guys
David, I should have specified that wide angle is what I am looking at currently. Though deep sky is extremely interesting and will be my next level if this becomes a new obsession
Rusty, thanks for the informative reply. That link was extremely helpful and nudged me in the right direction. I guess now all I need to do is start looking around for some gear and the rest is hands on learning
So now I'll start searching eBay, Gumtree and this site for a good deal
If anyone has some other great sites for this I would be very appreciative
