    I really like astrophotography but I don’t have the money to do it. At a minimum, I would need to buy a star tracker mount for my camera and then get stacking programs, but those pictures won’t be very good. For a good setup for astro, you need a telescope, a mount to fit your camera on, and other stuff.

    It did help me get into other types of photography like macro.

      I respect your respect for astrophotography and I just wanted to say that you can still get some really amazing shots (albeit not super close-up). I’ve made a series of wonderful astrophotography time lapses with just my Sony mirrorless and a tripod and patience.

      I’m sure you’re probably aware but just wanted to say :)
