M31 w/ Ioptron tracker
This shows you how you can get into astrophotography if you own a DSLR and 300-400 zoom lens without sinking a ton of money buying a telescope and mount. The Ioptron sky guider which goes for a around $400 sits right on top of a standard tripod and you can do long exposure photos on some of the brighter deep sky objects in the night sky that dont require 5 minute + exposure times.
