I started this hobby trying to take pictures of the Lunar Eclipse of November 7, 2022, I wasn't able to slower the shutter enough without blurriness, so I looked online how other people was able to take those great pictures, and I bough the Star Adventurer GTi as it was available in BHPhoto.com. Because our weather here, I wasn't able to try it out until august 2023, and oh boy, what an amazing pice of equipment it is. Because I'm unable to see Polaris, I was looking on other ways to get a polar alignment, which make me discover N.I.N.A. and it's 3-point alignment plug-in, what a blessing it is, and then I was able to take pictures of other celestial objects, like Orion Nebula and the Pleiades, and then I realized I'm in the wrong location for
On January 6 of this year, I went to the beach, a remote location with a
So, I decided to create a roadmap of the equipment to get in order to get better pictures, and I want to share it with you for two reasons, maybe it could help someone, and maybe any of you have better suggestions. Consider that I'm not a dentist or plastic surgeon living in California I'm a web developer from Guatemala, that is why I plan to get each pice of gear in phases, so here it is:

4. A better equatorial mount and a focuser, seeing how popular it is and watching some reviews, I guess that the "ZWO AM5" is the indicated, and the "ZWO
I guess with that, a portable setup is complete, ignoring the need for an external battery and some cables. Hope to make in the next couple of years.
I posted my first image on AstroBin this year, and got a like from some fellow who has a glorious setup, his image of the Andromeda Galaxy is gorgeous, but I could only imagine how hard was to take all his setup to that place, here it is:

So, any suggestion is appreciated.
P.D. I forgot to include something, I'm not sure on how to attach the guider to the EOS R5, I have the following cage, I guess I'll figure it out, but if some one have any idea, it'll appreciated
