I am looking to take up astronomy after viewing and photographing NEOWISE with my DSLR earlier this year. My budget is up to £5k although I would like to pay less but buying something once is more important than upgrading in the very near future. I am starting with nothing other than a beginners interest in astronomy.
What do I want to get out of what I hope is my new hobby? Ideally I would like a kit which I can take with me when I go on local drives into dark skies as well as using in my back garden. I would ideally prefer to purchase a kit which works out of the box. The kit doesn't have to be from one manufacturer but I would like to get it from one supplier and preferably mail order because of current and future Covid restrictions. It will be great if I can use my laptop to see what the telescope is seeing rather than looking through an eyepiece but I would like the option of the eyepiece. The laptop will just make it easier if I take the family out. I would also like to attach my Canon cameras to the telescope, both full frame and crop sensor cameras.
I intend to purchase books and have already started watching videos on youtube to gain a good starting position before going out.
Any help will be appreciated.
