What do you want to take photos of? Deep space or planets/lunar?

Tasco supply the EQ6 as well as a skywatcher ed80. That's a perfect combination to start with, for general widefield deep-space photography.

If you look at some images in the deep-space forum, there are images taken with that combination (including mine).

What imaging device (camera) will you use?

Also, you have to realise that astrophotography is a never-ending money pit. To get better and better images, you need more and better equipment. You can do good stuff on a budget, but eventually you will have to dive into your pocket.. guide scope, guide camera, guide software, guide cable, processing/capture software, field-flatteners/focal-reducers, better camera, modded camera, better scope, bigger mount, better mount, the list goes on
