=== Tier 1: A simple DSLR and a Tripod ===
----What a typical setup looks like:

==== Wide field Setup ====
''Lens pictured is too high of a focal length for this type of astrophotography, it was only used for demonstration purposes. Use something shorter, anything up to 35mm FL.''

===== Camera =====
The camera is an integral part of any astrophotography setup. A DSLR or similar is required due to the ability to shoot in RAW and adjust exposure times at will. The ability to switch between lenses allows for attempting both wide field targets and some smaller stuff. DSLRs are also compatible with telescopes so should last you a very long time in the hobby.

===== Ball head Mount =====
While not strictly required ballhead mounts allow you to point at any part of the sky easily. They are also useful later on if you decide to use a skytracker (more on this later).

===== Tripod =====
It's great to have a sturdy tripod which won't shake under the weight of the camera.

===== Example Images =====
Here are some images taken with typical wide field setups:
