As someone also limited by the sheer cost of equipment, this has given me a lot of confidence to keep at it with my DSLR and fixed tripod.
These pictures are stunning! The main thing holding me back is lacking a lens with zoom. The one I have for my Canon EOS 4000D zooms out bht not in. Great for day-to-day landscape snapping and ad-lip photography, but less so for astrophotography haha.
I do plan on investing in a zooming lens primarily, and an equatorial mount secondly to take that astrophotography to the next level, but haave still questioned how worthwhile such a huge investment would be. Seeing these settles it though, it'll definitely be worth it!
Hope you keep up your photographical adventures!
