I'll be moving to a village near Exmoor over the next few months, and as Exmoor is an 'International Dark Sky Reserve' maybe I should take some pictures of the sky. I'm interested in all of it,but my particular interest is in the planets and the Moon.

I'm prepared to put some money into this, I don't want to set a budget because if something is well worth it then I'll find a way smile.

I'm thinking maybe a telescope that I can attach a camera to, with one of those computer tripod heads that can find and track stuff?

Suggestions welcome.

Besides, you don't need dark skies for good Astrophotography. Dark skies are more suited to visual.
Thanks for the links. I daresay I don't need the dark skies, but if I've got them on my doorstep I might as well take advantage of them.
