The image is taken at a bortle class 4 site on a very clear night with high seeing so I wouldn't say there's a lot of light pollution. When I saw the image out of the camera I was a bit worried I might have messed up but I reckon this is normal then. Thanks for your reply.

Hello, I've recently modified my Nikon D3100 to try and use it as a dedicated camera for AP. A bit curious as to how subs straight from the camera usually looks like as I feel that mine is very red/pink, this is fixable in post but still leaves some discoloration on the starts. Any suggestions? Is this normal? The image is a single 30sec exposure straight out of the camera converted to jpg.

Hello Stargazers, I've recently picked up AP as a hobby a few months back and am now looking to expand my reach into deep space by purchasing a telescope. I am sure this question has been asked multiple times before, the reason I ask it again is to get an up to date answer taking into consideration the current supplier circumstances and the shortage in stock for most retailers. My current setup is a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer i2 Pro that I run with my Nikon d5500. I have a few lenses that have allowed me some range to begin with. A 50mm f1.8 (74mm on APS-c sensor) that I use for widefield, a 70-300 f4-5.6 AF-S for more detailed imaging (Mostly used for M42 and bigger, brighter targets) and finally a Meade 80AZ-ADR 700mm f8.8 that I picked up second hand, haven't used this much for imaging as I reckon it is pretty awful (thoughts?). My question is therefor, what is the next telescope I should pick up? I am looking at the Evostar 72 ED from Sky-Watcher and like what I see, this however is out of stock everywhere... Any similar options in the same price range? Should also mention that I live in Sweden and looking at the European market (including UK). I very much appreciate any and every thought! Thanks!
