Insane that this got a hard cover edition but one of those infamous books that you just need to add to the collection.

My intro level astrophotography gear is now complete, spent R50k over two years. Star tracker and DSLR camera based set up.

Next up is a Celestron AVX mount for R18k, ZWO EAF for R6k and an Askar 71F refractor telescope for R16k. That’s a mid level set up.

More advanced will have to wait a few years (a ZWO mount is R50k+ for example, a ZWO astro cooled camera is also in those price ranges, an Optolong light pollution filter is nearly R5k!).

My setup 18 months ago. That wedge has been replaced with a Williams Optics wedge and still need to install the new stuff:

I hope you start posting some of your photos in the Space thread 🙂
Will do, just waiting for it to arrive. I’ve only tried once and that is when I realised what I was missing. It’s near impossible in light polluted areas without the full setup especially in the southern hemisphere as we don’t have a visible polar star to align on.
