Hello,
Newbie here. Well, sort of. Growing up, I had a huge interest in Astronomy; even conidered working in the field for quite some time. Now, after many years, I'm thinking about it again. I suppose several things sparked the interest. #1, the mission to Pluto is well underway. Planetary Science was my main interest and Pluto was always a fascination. #2, the total eclipse headed to North America in 2017. Anyway, that got me thinking about reaquainting myself with the night sky.
I'd like to get into astrophotograpy but really have no idea where to begin. I do not yet have a telescope, nor any photography equipment. Any pointers on good starter equipment for the budget consious would be appreciated. I don't want to go so cheap that the results are crap and it becomes a turn-off.
Thank you.
