First astrophotography telescope and camera

The camera is nothing special. Small sensor, small images, barely 2 Mpix. No wonder they give it for free. Small FOV can by challenging for finding objects. Much better for planetary than deep sky objects.
The telescope is OK, but it will need a flattener. Expect some color aberrations to exist. Also, it is quite heavy, being 5.5 kg alone. That means you need a mount that can lift more than that, like eg. EQ-AL55i.
