Firstly,
Apologies for not responding to this earlier, I've had a few commitments take up a lot of my time.
Secondly,
Thank you very much for the detailed comments, it was a lot more detailed advise and information than I was expecting and I appreciate everyone's time taken to write it up.
I will definitely review and practice on polar alignment, my current struggle is clear nights to be able to do it (as I'm sure is a ongoing theme in this field).
My later challenge when I eventually get an OTA, I am interested in an EdgeHD 8" - I have found that there is a challenge of back focal plane due to an image train with a reducer, Celestron OAG and a DSLR (This would be my initial set up as I don't know how I'm going to go with 2032mm FL and the camera body is too big for a hyperstar with an 8" mirror).
I hope some others around Aussie are having better luck with clear nights.
