Re: Interest in astro imaging
Unless you get a camera star tracker you will need a tracking mount. That is a major investment so you may want to think about how bad you want this hobby. If it is real bad, spend a few thousand on a mount because that is by far the weakest link in the chain. Otherwise try the AVX or ZEQ25. The AVX has an option to get a Newt packaged for $100 if you are willing to make concessions. The good news, an AVX keeps its value pretty well so you can always sell it with only a few $100 loss. If you are not sure get a star tracker but really it's a relatively expensive solution when you compare it with the much more powerful AVX.
