Lol. Nobody here knows anything about Astrophotography.
None have barely even touched an actual scope either.



Aperture: 102mm
Focal Length: 1325mm

You're only going to be able to view planets, and star clusters with this scope though.
(And they will really just look like a circle with a different color than the other stars, nothing up close with the surface.)
But 1/2 price is good.


If you have more, get:

Focal Length: 2032mm

Here is a really good forum for Astrophotography. It's a sub-section of the Canon EOS forum:
