Hey everyone, I’ve been a long time photographer on a hiatus. Ever since learning about the existence of EQ mounts I have been excited to get back into photography and try the astro side of it.

I have a 300mm f/2.8 lens for my DSLR and am wondering if that focal length is any good. Thanks!

    *edit: just looked at the Messier catalog and some of them probably are going to be hard to resolve without at least a small telescope. But there are a lot of options that should be fine at 300mm.

      I’ll start my journey with Messier then. Sounds like a great place to focus on. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
