ronin Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Will get in first: AP is (can be) expensive, there are sort of minimum requirements and you have to consider future expansion or additions. You need a fairly good equitorial mount with at least motor drives and preferably goto. Cost depends on where you want to start and where you want to go to in the filed of AP. Do not go looking at nice scope used for visual astronomy and expect the same equipment to be used in AP, they are different to a fair extent.

Lynx1971 Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 Thank you guys for warm welcome. I have SW Evostar80ED scope on HEQ5Pro GoTo mount for now. My cameras are Sony A7S (ILCE7S) modified by JTW Astronomy and recently bought QHY168C but still puzzling with connection. I have done some photography already but learning path endless..Lots of learn now as QHY is my first APdedicated camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
