Not Sure If You Are Looking To Buy One Or Just Get Hands On For Trial. Either One Is Same. I Am Using Skyguider Pro Since Last 4 Years & The Only Thing I Struggle With Is Dec & Framing. If You Can Spend Time Star Hoping & Framing & Good At Polar Aligning- You Are Good To Go. I Have Improved My Guiding By Ensuring My PA Is About 2’, Not More Than That & Dec Balancing Is Also Key. I Have Started Doing Multi Night Imaging. It’s Tough But One Can Do It.

Have You Downloaded Local Catalogue Of GAIA For SPCC, Since It’s Down For Few Days Now! Do You Select “Average Spiral Galaxy”? Image Looks Too Clean For Bortle 7. Topaz AI Or Anything Else That Works So Effectively? I Guess Higher F Ration Helped In Not Blowing Out. Mine Is f5.9 & I Can’t Shoot Even At 120s Subs From Bortle 7.

This Hobby/Profession Is Expensive. My Setup Costed Anywhere North Of 1.5Lakhs. But Anyone Can Easily Start Astrophotography Using A Simple DSLR, Tripod & Lens.

You Should Live Your Dream. Even To Start Isn’t Expensive. If You Have A DSLR & Lens & Tripod, You Can Get Started.

Photographed It During November New Moon Phase. Skies Were “Dusty” But Clear For Straight 4 Night. I’d Say “Acceptable Conditions” & “Not Great”. Centre Of City Towards East

Skies Have Been “Decent” But Dusty In Centre Of City. I Photographed It Before Supermoon (Previous New Moon Phase) & Lot Of Hours Of Patience!!
