Hi Elp thanks for the reply much appreciated, i dont have a set budget as im buying when i have funds available, i do have a camera already but i dont think it would be ok for ap (nikon d3100) so would eventually get something more appropriate, comp control yes and would be autoguide. to be honest it would be a mix of targets... planetary and dso but more dso than anything.

Hi Guys an Gals, Right its been a fair few years since i did any astro of any kind and i was just getting started learning astro-photography, my old setup which i dont have anymore was the skywatcher HEQ5 pro synscan mount with the skywatcher 200p. so looking at a new setup and could do with a little advice... the mount im looking at is the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi and pairing it with the William Optics Zenithstar 73 III APO but im not sure if this is a good mix which is where this post ccomes in. i still class myself as a beginner as so much has changed in the last 9 years or so. Anyway what im looking for is portability which is why i chose this mount but im looking for a setup thats not going to break the bank. any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks
