Seems amazing for about £800, but a rubbish website of pretty pictures. More info on Amazon. But can it be used with Linux/Mac/Windows?
OTOH maybe a computer mount for my Canon 70D would be better.
I've a Canon EF 70-300mm, Tamron EF 18-200mm, Canon EFS 18-135mm (all only f5.6 at telephoto) and a Jintu T42 400-800mm (dim f 8.3 or less). An EF-S x2 (auto focus mode only with very bright lenses) and T42 x4 and T42 to EF adapator. I've other wider angle lenses and some OM mount lenses and adaptor).
I'm about 5km as crow flies from edge of Limerick City, at the edge of a village, so light pollution isn't too bad.
I did discover that you need two separate exposures to take moon with craters visible and have stars instead of black, or else you have stars and a glowy mess for the moon. Moon needs approximately dull daylight exposure when on 200mm to 1600mm. Only a dot on the phone camera.
