Setup thoughts

Evening everyone, hoping to get some feedback on the following combination that I'm looking at buying. Any thoughts are very much appreciated.

Scope -

Mount -

Camera (because I already have it) -
https://www.canon.com.au/cameras/eos-6d-mark-ii

Tracking and OAG -
https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/product/asiair-pro
https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/product/zwo-oag
ASIAIR pro + ASI120 mini + OAG

Autofocuser zero EAF
https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/product/zwo-eaf

All I'm going for is deep space galaxies.
Had three scopes previously and done some astrophotography with the Newtonian with a field rotator. Sold it because it was huge and heavy, 12in and in no way mobile. Plus the vibrations in the tracking and wind always resulted in blurry images even when covered/surrounded.

If I'm doing something stupid feel free to just hit me over the head lol for me its a lot to spend so I'd like to get it right.

The camera I'll upgrade when ZWO bring out their next mono.

Thanks in advance!
