My Equipment (Updated April 2025)

 Camera: Canon EOS 700D (Astro-modified)

Mount: SkyWatcher Star Adventurer GTi

Lens(s): Canon 18mm-55mm f/3.5 // Canon 90-300mm f/4.5-5.6

Other(s): Neewer Lens Warmer (Dew Heater/Heat Strap), Intervalometer

Total Cost of All Equipment: £1,043


All my equipment is stored in a case. I made this case myself by using a carry-on sized suitcase (55x40x20cm) and cut up an old mattress for the foam padding inside. I then drew around everything that I would need to carry around and keep protected. I then cut out all of the inserts for the equipment and lastly I spray painted the foam black to give it a nicer look (I did have some help from my girlfriend while making this).This makes it so much more portable and also means I get to take it when I travel abroad.
