Hello folks, Tiny bit of back ground first. I have 4 grandchildren and am going to attempt retirement. I currently own an 8 in dobsonian mount telescope and a old Canon T3i. The bulk of my photography is embarrassingly bad. I have bad hand tremors and the dob doesn't exactly glide around. I very much want to take better pictures but there are so many telescopes / mounts / et cetera that I am hoping to get a little advice. I'll preface with budget. I think 1000$ is my telescope budget (mount, lenses et al). If I need to upgrade my camera I can do that as well and would like a recommendation for that as well. Which features, lenses lenses and focal settings that would be ideal for a amateur. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max so should I worry about getting something with a cell phone mount? Is a Go To mount super important? True tracing mounts are expensive I've heard. Is that sort of functionality required? I'm very appreciative of any help / advice I can get. Thanks a ton
