My $650 (so far...) astrophotography set up
Most recently acquired piece of gear - IOptron ZEQ25GT ($250)
Explore Scientific 80/480 Triplet Apo ($200)
Not pictured - Canon Rebel SL2 ($150), batteries for camera ($30), new power cord for ZEQ25GT ($20)
Still "need" a guide scope, and probably a few PC programs for processing. Hopefully I can keep it all under $1,000 (for a while)
Good deals are out there, if you're patient. Now I just need the damn smoke to clear out of the sky!
