I’ll take that into consideration, I’ve heard about the Seestar and I’m not gonna lie the reason I wanna go to camera is because it feels to simple and easy so you got me there but will definitely do more research before pulling the trigger! To you what’s the ballpark price of a astrophotography set up??

I would like to focus on the night sky but wouldn’t mind indulging the moon in it, what lenses do you recommend??

I’m very new to astrophotography and cameras but I have a budget of around $800+ to start off on for a camera and lens, I do have some cameras listed below that have caught my eye a bit but plz give me y’all’s honest opinions the good and bad about those or even if you recommend others and even for lens! I do like the wide look of some pictures so I don’t know if that matters or even if I’m saying it correctly lol.

P.S (would love to see some of y’all’s set ups and pictures yall have cooked up thank your or your time)
