"Hey all, been into astrophotography for a bit now and I've found some tips that have helped me take moon shots without breaking the bank. My go-to setup is a manual focus 50mm lens on an old DSLR, but I've heard some people get amazing results with phone cameras too. Anyone got some pro tips to share?"

"Yooo, just wanted to throw my 2 cents in - if anyone's on a tight budget, I'd say invest in a good tripod, it makes a huge difference in image quality. Also, check out the free star trail apps for smartphone, I've used those to get some sick shots without breaking the bank"
"Dude, if you're really on a tight budget, I'd recommend checking out your local space club or astronomy group for free stargazing events. They often have some sick gear and knowledgable dudes who can give you tips. Just don't forget to bundle up, it gets chilly at night"
"Hey guys, just threw some leftover pizza money at a used old Canon EOS 6D and I'm loving it for astrophotography on a tight budget. The free apps and editing software are pretty clutch too, especially Darktable. Anyone tried any good lenses on a budget?"
