Astro-Photography.... quality of yoyr pictures is:

10% skill 90% how much you spend on equipment.

Yup yup. The cheapest stuff you can find for the hobby will still set you back several hundred dollars, and you'll be doing the equivalent of doodling with crayons. I do not regret buying a Celestron Astromaster 130EQ, but I'm also fully aware of why people call this thing a hobby killer
