Thanks for the detailed reply 😀 I've included a screenshot of the light pollution where I am. It isn't ideal but I can travel, no issues. I've downloaded an app called PolarFinder Pro and I've had the Pro version of Stellarium for a little while now. I welcome the challenge of identifying and capturing DSOs, sounds like part of the fun to me! Hopefully before long I will have some of my own images to share on here! Thanks again, Andy

Hello there! 😀 I've very recently ordered myself some kit to hopefully get started in this wonderful world of astrophotography. I've long been fascinated by documentaries and images of the cosmos. I've binged 100s of YouTube documentaries on the subject. After watching a good few videos on what it takes to get into astrophotography I've purchased some basic essential kit, I believe. What I have coming is as follows:- Sky Watcher Star Adventurer 2i wifi pro pack Sky watcher tripod for Star Adventurer Canon 2000d DSLR 18-55mm kit lens Canon remote Other bits and bobs also come with the camera such as strap, spare battery etc etc. My question is, is this enough to get me started, or would I need to invest in a telescope and/or a better lens for the camera? I've seen some people get very nice images with a similar set up. Any advice would be massively appreciated! Many thanks for reading, Andy
