Reality check time.

I personally think that anyone recommending a package containing an eq5 mount or lesser to carry a scope for astrophotography is wasting your money on something you will quickly want to dispose of and upgrade once you start dabbling in AP and discover how limiting and frustrating its shortcomings are.

HEQ5 minimum, and thats to carry a small scope.

Now once you price in what a workable mount for AP costs, you have two choices, treble your budget, or use your existing budget to get the best visual bang for the buck you can get.... ie a dobsonian.
