Does anyone have experience with photography? What kind of camera do you have? How much did you pay for it? Do you know anything about zooms? I want to buy a camera with a MASSIVE zoom so I can take pictures of the sky. What's your advice?
raises hand Nikon D80 with a few toys Body itself or all the accessories I have with? I lost track of spending maybe. what do you need to know You can take picture of the skies with any lens, you don't really need to closeup shot of the moon, and second, what's there to focus on, in the sky? Most lenses have AF(autofocus) the longer the range, the more things you need. you'll need a steady hand or a shit load of light; either case, a tripod is always recommended.
