It has been a dream of mine to get into astrophotography for decades. I owned a cheap scope before but it never worked right so I got rid of it years ago. I am willing to spend some bucks on the equipment but want to make sure I get the right stuff for what I am wanting to image. I understand the mount is the most important part. I was looking at the SkyWatcher EQ6R PRO for the mount. Beyond that I have very little idea what the best equipment would be.
I would like to image the gas giants fairly well and deep sky objects such as Andromea, Triangulum, etc very well.
I have been reading a refractor would be a good choice for my desires. I am not against a dedicated astro camera but would prefer a consumer type dslr to use for other purposes
Would like some recommendations on a good scope and all accessories required to image these object well without spending a ton of money.
Mount, scope, spotting scope, camera, filters, and any other accessories.
Thanks!
