Welcome again...!
So, as we all know Astrophotography is something very very very exciting and fun thing to do.
Get your camera, Point it to sky and shoot!?
No. It's not that simple. It's a very complex, complicated and somewhat hard type of Photography. But don't worry!!
Here is a list what you'll need to start capturing the Stars....
#1
A Camera
Well, that's the pretty basic thing. Without it Astrophotography is impossible.
A DSLR or a Mirrorless Camera is must needed.
#2
A Steady and Heavy Tripod
Astrophotography is also impossible without a tripod. Because you can't handle your camera for 15-30 seconds. One will shake it.
You can get one here

#3
Lens
Any lens from f1.8 to f3.5 will work.
You'll need a wide angle lens for your camera because you want to capture big areas in night sky. But sometimes it depends on your needs. Let it be wide angle lens for now.
#4
A Very Good Computer System
A photo from camera isn't always the best. One need to edit and enhance them. This is called Post Processing. There are many softwares available for that. Like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom etc. They need a pretty good computer system so they can run fluently.
Some other needs,
Extra Battery
Lens Hood for protecting your lens at night from dust and cold.
Warm Clothing
A Flashlight
In the end,
Astrophotography is very expensive hobby....
Many can't afford it. But don't worry. One can do it from a mobile camera with manual modes too....
So, what are you waiting for?
Gear Up and Get Ready...!
