OK, I looked up Takahashi - they make scopes for anywhere from a grand
on up to $250k.
If my primary aim is to get great lunar shots and the occasional shot of
other celestial bodies, what could I expect to spend? This is more of a
casual thing - don't want to spend more than my house costs.
Or, perhaps recommend a good text for digital astrophotography for
beginners.
Thanks.
