I am looking to get started in Astrophotography.
I want to be thorough in in my research and avoid any mistakes that others may have made I have 2 cameras I will be using for different effects.
EOS Rebel T21
EOS R7
What Telescope do you recommend and why?
Pros and Cons of your Telescope?
What was the cost of your Telescope?
Where did you buy your Telescope?
If you could go back in time, would you get a different Telescope?
What accessories are a must?
What optional accessories do you have and why?
What other recommendations do you have for a newbie in Astrophotography

Greetings,
Your camera bodies, I think you may have meant the T2i and R7. Neither of these are particularly adept for low light photography. A good tripod is a must.
One issue you may encounter. The T2i uses EF or EF-S lenses or mounts. The R7 uses RF or RF-S lenses or mounts. It may be possible for you to use an EF to EOS R adapter but I would check with the telescope manufacturer to be sure of compatibility.
I'm afraid I don't have any telescope )brand) recommendations. I'm sure other others might.

I wish that I could be of some assistance but, unfortunately I am brand new to both general photography and astrophotography. But, I will suggest Roger Vine’s website http://www.scopeviews.co.uk
I hope this will be of some assistance to you.
