Hello everyone,

I got my telescope two years ago, and also have been lurking at all brilliant photos on this website for some time now. I have plans on buying some beginner camera and start some astrophotography as soon as world (and finances) return to normal.

In the meantime I am excited I can watch all this beautifull photos you all make.

Best regards!

greetings Anamarija,
since i started with astrophotography this year im also still new to the hobby and can relate :=). i bought an old DSLR (Canon 600D) for around 200€ and a Skywatcher Star Adventurer for 350€. place that on a tripod (around 100€) and you can start. Most time you get a basic lens with a camera and you can use that for the start. there are also nice lenses that are not too pricy, e.g. from Samyang/Rokinon/Walimex. You can even put a small Telescope in the Star Adventurer like i did. Overall i think its a really great starting setup.

best regards
Franz
