What are some good, low-budget telescopes for astrophotography?

I'm looking at getting a telescope so I can do some astrophotography with my DSLR. But I'm really stumped on what I should get. I'd like to get a GoTo Telescope, which tracks and finds objects for you so you don't have to manually find it yourself. I'd like something that would be able to capture planets of our solar system, nebulas, and galaxies. It must be able to support the weight of my DSLR, which is a Nikon D800. I do not want to spend a bunch of money on a telescope, so I'm looking at cheaper options. I want to make sure that I enjoy it and/or can figure out how to do it before dropping money on a nice, more expensive telescope. I'd prefer not to spend more than $500.

I have been looking at this telescope. Any opinions on it?

I know very little about telescopes so any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Looking for a nice 300mm lens for Nikon D5300?

I have a Nikon D5300, I currently have a Sigma 300mm lens with macro, and the quality on it just doesn't seem the best it is also very annoying when using the autofocus as it is very noisy. I want a better quality 300mm lens for a reasonable price (lower than $500 if possible). I'll be using this lens to take pictures of birds so let me know of other lenses you might recommend for such as well. Thanks!

Cleaning sensor on a Nikon D80?

So i noticed this little spec begin to appear on my camera. I took out the lens, cleaned both ends of the lens and the inside of the camera and it's still there. So unfortunately I think it has something to do with the sensor.
I want to know if this is easily fixable and what the costs of repairs could be.
Added (1). Also, what happens if there really is something wrong with the sensor and it isn't a spec of dust? Then what?

What Digital Camera Should I Purchase? Nikon, Sony, Canon?

I'm going to Europe this summer and I was thinking of an investing in a good camera that offers amazing quality photos, zoom, and video. I guess I would be an amateur when it comes to photography.

Is there any you would recommend? Sony? Nikon? Canon? Any models you suggest would be greatly appreciated!

My MacBook Pro doesn't recognize my Nikon D300?

I own a 2008 model of the Macbook Pro and it does not recognize my Nikon D300 camera when I plug it in, and I do not know why.

I had this laptop while in my 2 years of college and never had this problem, i never used actual card readers I was always able to plug the USB cable into my laptop and it would open it up just like any USB you plug in. Recently I tried to plug it in, after not doing so for a while and it won't open or recognize that anything is even plugged in. No lights fash, it doesn't attempt to open my camera file. If anybody has this issue and solved it please let me know, card readers for Compact Flash are not cheap so I'd like to fix this issue asap. Thanks!

Best Camera for Real Estate Agent?

I got my license in 2004 and this was my first camera: https://www.dpreview.com/products/fujifilm/compacts/fuji_finepixe500z

The 28mm wide angle was pretty nice. In those days, using a monopod and slave flash, my photos were better than most agents.

By early 2012, it wasn't cutting it anymore. I purchased a new camera that I still use today:
https://www.dpreview.com/products/panasonic/compacts/panasonic_dmcfz150
The 25mm has been a big help. I started shooting in RAW format and processing in Silkypix that comes with the camera and PaintShop Pro X3. Today same camera, but upgraded to PSP X7 a while back.

The camera is still good, but maybe I'm needing more. Back in 2012, I was still getting listings under $300k. Today, that's low average. I just paid a professional $600 to photography my first $999k listing. I'm NOT happy with the photos at all. He used a Nikon D3300 SLR.

I'm looking at Nikon D5600 body and this lens.
https://www.dpreview.com/products/tokina/lenses/tokina_at-x_11-20_2p8_pro_dx

I want to start shooting more HDR and get a panoramic mount that will allow me to stitch multiple frames together.

Am I under buying? Will I get 6 years out of this rig? Thanks.

Any compact cameras that have the lens on the far side?

I need a camera thats compact and has its lens on the far side to be able to use it on my gimbal. The thing is, there are very few of them. I've seen action cams but I need an interface in which I have a lot of control over. Some camera examples are the fujifilm finepix z2d, the fujifilm finepix 120, the nikon aw130 and w300, but I want to see more options. Please not old ones as their quality is just horrible. Thank you.

Is a DSLR (Nikon D750) camera really that much better than the iphoneX? Is it worth it?

Looking to buy the D750 camera by Nikon but keep second guessing myself if it's worth it. I know many will say it depends on what you want it before but just overall, does it take better pictures because of the bigger sensor and everything they can do. What all can you do more of on the DSLR over the iPhone which looks pretty professional. Thanks so much for any advice!
