Thanks for this feedback. I will aim for this range (60/70/80d) although I read somewhere to steer away from the 70d. No problem though, thanks again

This is great advice, I will have a good look, I have been keeping an eye on shutter counts on second hand cameras so I will consider the 250d in my search

I just have a steady tripod, no equatorial mount yet though I do plan on getting all the relevant kit I just want to start seeing some results first before I invest heavily in this hobby. First hurdle is the camera unfortunately

Such a shame because it is a lovely camera. It seems they made it to test the ability of software to be used for things that hardware would typically do. It hasn't seemed to have worked unfortunately

Thank you. I really hope to get deep sky images rather than planets. Keep to get nebula / galaxies etc. I only have the standard lense 18-55mm at the moment. Having spent money on the camera, tripod and software as well as a few other bits, the lense went on the backfoot until I just play around with the camera. So I was also looking at the 600d. I then got fatigue and became confused with all the different models. I swayed to the 600d for some time but then there were comments against.

Thanks for this, I am going to get a Canon, second hand so would absolutely appreciate any recommendations on the model to get. Looking at the 80d, 60d and 6d but all quite expensive

No it definitely says D3500. I'm sure it is great for astrophotography if you are willing to stand around pressing buttons

Thanks Tim, I will check out these links, anything will be a help right now.

Thank you for this feedback, what an absolute nightmare, its a good camera but I really feel I have been mis-sold for the use of astrotography. I have tried the timer too. Such a shame

Hi everyone, I am looking for some help with astrophotography. Specifically, I bought a Nokon D3500 after reading several feedback pages as this device being one of the best beginners kit for astrophotography. As time has gone on I have found that the camera will not enable an intervalometer or any sort of shutter release device. it doesn't have a port to allow it. On top of that, the snapbridge app doesn't allow you to time and interval the shots. So the alternative is that when the app does eventually load (which sometimes it doesn't in dark sky areas), I am having to.press the snap button 100s of times and it just isn't working. I am so frustrated because I paid £500 for the camera.. Does anyone know a way around this? Another app perhaps, a device that will work. the camera enables micro usb and micro hdmi cables but no others. Any help would be very much welcomed otherwise I will need to wait longer and save for a different camera. Thank you
