Need help with building my first rig
I've been doing some astrophotography with a stock Nikon Z6+105mm macro lens+star tracker (chinese clone to the nomad MSM) and I want to level up my astro game and start building a dedicated rig. I've narrowed it down to the following items:
- Teseek Juwei 14 Harmonic mount - 697$
- Askar 71F quadruplet - 638$
- SV165 30mm f/4 guidescope - 47$
- GPCMOS02000KPA 290C planetary camera - 145$
- Dew heater - 20$
- T ring adapter - 15$
Total with shipping is going to cost around 1,600$.
I have a sturdy camera tripod, I will be using my laptop+NINA, as well as my Z6 with a dummy battery, until I can save up for a cooled astro camera and then look into more accessories such as narrowband and LP filters. I mainly want to shoot nebulae and galaxies, no real interest in planetary imaging.
What else will I be needing? Power supply/cables/portable battery etc...
I live in the middle east and the used market is non-existent in my country so all the parts above will be sourced from Aliexpress.
