Hello Tony, Many thanks for reply. I was going to start out with a dob telescope but I preferred taking images before observe the night skies. I looked into a Nikon D800 but decided to for a Canon Eos 6d....This inspired me from the late Alyn wallace as this was the camera he started with so for me that said alot coming from a well recognised award winning landscape astrophotographer, He inspired me to take up astrophotography, So with that I slowly begin my to journey into astrophotography and buying two second hand Canon Eos 6d from London camera exchange which one camera had only 2000 shutter count considering these cameras was released back in November 2012....Not bad for a twelve year old camera I thought π
The lenses I brought brand new again tring to find the cheapest option to purchase them. I have had many people say that astrophotography can be expensive and that is true but if you do your research I truly believe you can find the best option about getting what you want.
Living in West Sussex is a great location for me for Astrophotography I currently go to the coast Selsey is great location over looking the sea so no problem with light pollution there, Bortle 4 skies possibly at times 4.5, Then you have the south downs international dark sky reserve which is very good for Astrophotography or just observing the night sky. I forgot to say that the late Sir Patrick moore lived in Selsey.
Your current astro setup sounds greatπ Do you still use your Nikon 7200? π€ I want to get a sky watcher star adventurer Gti tracking mount but just shopping around for the best price π°π I am planning a trip to either gran canaria or La palma for next year but don't want to take to much equipment and to keep things as light and portable as possible. Have you done the been abroad to do any astrophotography?
Regards Roger
