25 quid sounds like a steal!!!! How hard was it to remove? Would I have a high chance of breaking it? 😀

Yeah I'm looking forward to trying stacking! I've watched the Nebula Photos video called "Orion Nebula WITHOUT a Star Tracker or Telescope..." a couple of times and it seems interesting. I've also seen people talking about cheap barndoor trackers and I have been thinking about 3d printing one and using an Arduino to turn the motor if I want a bit of a project later on. The only camera I have at the moment is a Canon G9X (a point and shoot) so I think it would be worth getting at least something like the 1100D first. There is an auction ending in a couple of days that I have my eye. Thanks for the help!

If you do this do they still work for normal uses? I'm a bit of a novice sorry!

That top photo (of the Andromeda galaxy?) on the 700D is stunning. If I can get to anything like that I will be very pleased!! Does that mean that I could take photos like your first one from the first reply if I just used a longer exposure? What kind of total exposure did you use? Thanks again!!

Can they do ok if they aren't astro modded? Or is it something I could do myself? Thanks for you reply!!

Hello everyone!!! I have been watching quite a view videos and poking around here and it seems like you can do quite a lot with just a DSLR and a kit lens. I am wondering though if the Canon EOS 1100D is still worth getting over 10 years after it was released. The one I am looking at buying comes with the canon 75-300mm kit lens as well as the 18-55mm kit lens. I would like to try some wide astro shots but also maybe some big deep sky astro and also some general photography/timelapses. If this is posted in the wrong place or you need any more information please let me know!!!! Thanks!
