Setup

[serbiadarksky]

Hi,

I want to ask for any cheap setup for DS imaging (tripod,telescope,guide scope and all other stuff)

I got a 600D modified for free so the camera is not a question now

Max budget is 500$

Not really obvious. At $500 I would say that one of the small Star Adventurer items is the obvious area, Skywatcher or iOptron equivalent. Skywatcher item is £275 which leaves £125 for either a small scope or a DSLR lens.

If you want an EQ mount then for the budget the EQ3-2 may fall into budget  Looks like the EQ3 Pro is £300, so kind of just, but that is mount only and I assume you would additionally need a scope - small ED seems again the area.

For $500 you can forgt guide scope+Camera for now at least.

I don't think there is a "cheap" DSO imaging option now, other then the Star Adventurer type items. A "reasonable" start into imaging is really the EQ5 goto and say a 72mm refreactor which is going to be around £900+ then comes assorted bits. Really £1200.

Not sure of the use astro market in Serbia.

With this budget i think you can't get much, you asked before similar question or asking for something with low budget.

For this budget get this one:

Or this one

Or this one if you try to stretch little more

Good luck!

Have you looked at the type of images you want to be able to do yourself and looked at the equipment that was used to take them. The staradventure fitted what you first posted about what you wanted to be able to do. Will you be setting up at home or having to travel to a location to be able to image, do you need to consider how portable equipment is.
