New Purchase Suggestions

Yes, it a very good example of the realities in having lots of choices.
Possibly a good opening for his well structured website. I went through the
same type of discussions when starting my underwater photography skills.
It's kind of like reading the fine print before jumping into the products.
But let's not stop there or it would be discouraging..



This makes me almost want to start a mega website on 'Astronomy for the
Newbie', but making websites and writing applications is what I do all day
long. For now I just want to soak in all the various things this new
adventure has to offer.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Hello Rob.

Welcome aboard and welcome to a great pass time.

You are looking for some advice, I am going to provide some, though it
may not
quite be what you are hoping for. I will not recommend any scope or
mount or
eyepieces.

...............................
A couple of good sites for photography are

www.astropix.com

Lots of photos and a good section that is basically a primer in all
aspects of
Astrophotography.

www.astro-physics.com Lots of nice astrophotos take by a variety of
folks,
most all with Astro-Physics scopes with a variety of cameras.

So, I hope I haven't discouraged you. Joining a club and getting in
some time
with experienced folks ought to be exciting and at the same time help
you
discover what this is all about....

Best wishes,

jon isaacs
