A budget CCD/CMOS camera, is it worth it?
Hey all, this is my first post on Reddit, hope everything goes well...
I desperately want to get into astrophotography, but as you know being on a budget makes everything harder. I have a couple entry level scopes: Celestron Powerseeker 80eq and Orion Starblast 6/6i. I'm using a phone mount to align my smartphone with an eyepiece and take photos.
Now i'm thinking about getting a budget CCD camera, something like: Astromania SGCMOS, ZWO ASI120MC, Celestron NexImage 10, or something in this price range. is it worth it or will i be incredibly disappointed with the results? I mean budget scope + budget camera... i'm not expecting incredible results i just hope it will be better than using my smartphone.
Should I go for it? can you recommend something else in this price range? (200$ +-) Thanks for any feedback.
Cheers!
