View submission: Winter night sky over Mount Rainier
The mount and tripod cost $2600, the camera and lens cost $2400, the miscellaneous stuff (Asair plus controller, power bank, filter, processing software) was another $1200 or so. That’s for a wide angle setup. If you want a telescope for close up stuff you’re looking at more than that. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks! That’s not too bad I was expecting somewhere closer to $10K. Also what part of Washington were you in? I love the PNW, I try to go there at least once a year and go hiking around one of the mountains. I went last year and found out the St Helen’s was giving off tremors and caused a landslide that closed part of 504 so we couldn’t get to a lot of the trails. Still had an amazing time though.
