Thanks I'll def keep an eye out and once I've been here long enough I should be able to access the classifieds. I like to research and take my time and also like to buy into an eco-system so sticking with ZWO, for instance wouldn't necessarily be a problem

Thanks for this. I've just watched both videos. It seems like the logical first step would be the mount in any case and then once I want to upgrade and can swap out the DSLR for a dedicated camera etc? From early research the ZWO ASIair will control the DSLR as well, which is handy.

Thanks Steve, and all the others. My undergraduate degree was physics so I guess I really should’ve taken an interest in this a few years ago. But I’m here now at least 😆 I’m in Sheffield, so if anyone knows of any good AP locations then I’d be keen to learn where they are.

Wow thanks for the great replies already! It feels like this will be a great community. I am interested in Nebulae and landscape AP. As for budget, considering what I already have I’d be looking at about £1k to get me fully up and running, but would like to make a start capturing asap. thanks!

Hi all, New here and looking to get into AP. im not a stranger to photography in general but I’ve had maybe 10 years without a camera. I know that the answer to this question will be ‘it depends’ but, if you had to start again and you had, say £1k - what equipment would you be buying now? I already have a Nikon D7100, Samyang 14mm F2 and a 35mm F1.8. so I’m guessing I’ll need a tripod, tracker? And then maybe a scope for DSO? I love to tinker and upgrade stuff and I’m already looking at a D850 as it’s full frame. What does everyone recommend?

Thanks Mr Spock! you know what request is coming next right?? 😄

Hey everyone Just thought I’d say hello before I start posting in the main forums. Im looking to get into astrophotography. I’ve made a start and picked up a Samyang 14mm F2 lens but feel like this is the tip of the iceberg :-)
