Hi,
I am a beginner in astrophotography since a while now. A couple of years ago, I started with a Star Adventurer 2i and a DSLR and quickly got fed up with it. Fiddling around with a wobbly photo tripod, guessing where to find polaris in a light polluted city with bad eyes, a polar scope that made my back hurt, endless search for the target on a small camera screen and looking for the buttons on a camera that hangs over head, really spoiled the hobby for me. Lets face it: I am lazy… So I now decided to invest a bit more in a sturdy mount, an astro camera, a real telescope and all that electronic stuff that makes finding targets, focussing and imaging so much easier. It really is a pleasure to go out now and to learn new things every day.
Clears skies,
