I am thinking about buying a camera, but not exclusively for astrophotography. Since this will be my first own camera, I don’t want to spend too much money. For that reason, I looked mainly for Micro four thirds, specifically the lumix g85. I dont know what category of ap I will like the most/focus on, but until now I only tried deep space with a relatives camera. I know I probably wont be able to get images like most in this community, but I want to know your experiences. How far can I get with stacking? What should I look out for in Bodies and lenses?

    I found the g85 used for around $320 and multiple fast lenses for around 200 each. I really didn’t find a good APS-C at that price point. I am fine with a older DLSR, but I would prefer a mirrorless. If they also work for astrophotography. I mainly see people using mirrored cameras…, is there a reason?

      Probably just what people have or found cheaper at the time. Mirrorless is a newer technology. Go with that camera then, you’ll have a great time
