    To take brilliant images of stars you have to connect the camera to a telescope.

    That means a DSLR

    Cheapest new DSLR at present is the Canon 1100D at £260

    or the Nikon D3100 at £280

    You would then need an astronomical telescope and adapter for stars.

    For insects you will get reasonably close with the lens provided but to get REALLY close you need a macro lens - cost about £600.

    I have a canon 500d which is great for close ups and capturing details like insects...

    They're about £500 but i found mine second hand for £250
