Sky guider and tripod recommendations New to this specific field


Recommended Posts

After a very sturdy tripod and 'head/mount?' for general photography at the current moment but to also use for a Sky guider when I get one in the future
My questions are;

  1. Which tripod do I need to handle a small scope and or camera with a big lens attached to sky guider, Tripod budget less than £100
  2. Which sky guider should I go for to image the milkyway and nebula? probably 6-8 lbs payload? Budget less than, £400
  3. Do sky guiders come with their own mount? I heard something about a ball head, mount budget less than £50
  4. Is there anything else I may need with what I have mentioned, power, adaptors, filters etc.

Much appreciated, I am new here so I hope this is ok to ask. I currently own a NEQ6 with two small telescopes which I have problems with that I will discus in another topic, so I know how to image that way, but I fancy something small and less stressful in the meantime.
