beginners rig idea

[weary parcel]

I feel like I am cooking with this setup

here are the components.

[versed bear]

Is that not what literally everyone says to get as a first setup

Also dude you better modify that camera

[unborn raven]

Its a decent beginners setup, better mod that can tho. Also how did you make that pic?

[weary parcel]

I borrowed it

[unborn raven]

Ah ic

[weary parcel]

no stealing

[unborn raven]

Try finding everything used ofc, just watch out when buying

[weary parcel]

yup, I know a guy who can mod the can

[unborn raven]

Nice

[weary parcel]

now I just need to fend off the financial hell of this hobby

[unborn raven]

Haha been there done that, we didn’t pick a cheap hobby didnt we 😅

[weary parcel]

Ah well, its for a greater purpose

[unborn raven]

Rightfully so

for now I'm just gonna cry into my smart telescope whilst I save up

[lyric whale]

Sell the smart telescope

[polar grove]

looks good but i reccoment second hand its the way to go. 1500 is steep for what u get

[weary parcel]

In all fairness the smart scope is phenomenal and I would love to keep it.

Then honesty why are you considering this beginner rig?

[agile raft]

You can get the stuff used for way less price

add variety and not lmited to just over a degree to shoot targets even if I can simply create a mosaic

[velvet epoch]

I really don't get these setups if they are not for travelling. I would get a cheap used neq6 or a new neq5 with a 6" newtonian and a used camera 🤷‍♂️ I honestly prefer having a scope

[weary parcel]

yes, I do plan on buying used equipment

[forest grail]

That’s reasonable, but like Hugo says this seems like a beginner rig and I would aim for something with more oomph, even for widefield, unless you need it for travel.

That picture is from a video in Nico Carver's Nebula Photos Youtube Channel called "Astrophotography from $100 to $10000" @ 10:59 which is called "The Gateway Drug" rig

[unborn raven]

Noted, thanks!

[weary parcel]

[scenic sequoia]

that{s pretty awesome for half an hour exposure only

This is a 1300$ setup, used market value, whis is what I paid was way less than 1000$. Nowadays and with buying from the used marked you can get way better setups than those setups that large youtubers suggest buying as a beginner. #low-tier-submit message

I'm looking for a canon dslr with a crop sensor, my budget is £500.

does anyone have any suggestions?

Okay, a bloke from my astro club has offered the 2000d (Rebel T7) at a price of £180 just for me, I think it is an absolute win!

also includes the backpack and lens!

[velvet epoch]

It's okay
