It's time to break down a full-sized astrophotography rig part by part to uncover what each component does and why it's important! This video is meant to familiarize anyone new to this hobby who may want to upgrade to a bigger, more serious setup while still keeping budget in mind. This is my first GEM and Telescope and I am still a beginner with astrophotography! Hope you enjoy, Keep Looking Up.
