If you want to get into this, you need to actually plan things out. Light pollution is a major issue when it comes to astrophotography, on the east coast, almost everywhere there is light pollution. There are some dark areas, but Astrophotography requires as little light as possible, which is why I A, reccomend this.

I also recommend this software to actually orient yourself with the sky in regards to your location so you can get an idea of what you want to photograph, and what you can even photograph.
