Daytime and astrophotography?

A DSLR camera can do well

Just select some proper lenses

For astrophotography you will need an adittional part to get good images. Its the SWSA 2i mount

Any specific camera cus there are tons on google

[tropic cairn]

A used canon or a nikon will do

Ok thx

What’s ur budget?

[proud iron]

As far as canon goes a used t3i is good, also a step up would be a 60D. Nikon's D5300 is a very good option for around 200.

Nikon has had an issue with a ring of death from their image compression on raw images (I know raw imagesa rent compressed tell that to nikon) so I would go canon for astro and you can get an astro mod with a clip in filter for daytime and just remove it for astro.

Someone in cloudy nights made a fix for it

really? Its been such a pain. can you link?

[proud iron]

Shoot above iso 800-1600 and it is heavily reduced - from what I've researched and because I own a Nikon, which at its optimal iso there is no ring even with heavy stretching.
