As I'll be after distant objects I assume I'll need a decent mount with some sort of guidance motor? Will a basic telescope be enough or will I have to fork out for a large one? From reading back through the forum archives, I see the main criteria is a manual shutter speed, is this correct? Sorry for so many questions.
