Monofoot

Been watching some Youtube videos on this now - it looks perfect, thanks a lot for that and it's something I'm probably going to pick up instead. Thanks!

It's tough. I really want to say both, but I think imagining is more important - I really want to capture how impressive space is. Would an altaz mount work on a standard camera tripod? If that's the case, I could really get one of those and use that on the camera just to see how it goes - might save me a few hundred quid in the long run.

Hi guys, I posted this in the wrong thread and I'm not too sure how to delete it so I'm moving it here. I've just ordered a Canon 600D to start doing some astrophotography and it arrives tomorrow - I'm stoked. I've been wanting to get into astrophotography for a while now and I'm so happy to finally be pulling the trigger. The last item on my shopping list is a solid beginner telescope which would couple well with my Canon 600D. The research I've done is all pointing towards a newtonian reflector, but again, I'm a super newb here. My primary goal here is to take some pictures of stars and planets with the Canon 600D attached to the telescope. I've been looking at the Sky-Watcher 114/900 as it's relatively cheap, which I think is great for someone just starting off - but was wondering what your opinions were seeing as you've all been through this before. Do you have any other recommendations? I'd like to keep my budget up to £300, and that's stretching it really. Thanks for taking the time to help!
