Question New Astrophotography Set Up $8k Budget ?

I am looking into various options for venturing into astrophotography with the constraints of a smallish car and the need to be able to also provide decent viewing via my scope.

I am upgrading from a 8" Dob.

At the moment I am considering a Meade LX 200 + Wedge

Meade LX200 8"
Orion Starshoot Pro V2
Bintel Orion Guide Scope Package
Losmandy Dovetail Bar
Losmandy Guidescope Rings
Meade Series 5000 Eyepiece Set (all pieces)
Bintel 12V Power Solution for 12v in field
Meade Equatorial Wedge 8"

However I am open to all ideas. Can anyone provide any feedback about this set up or alternative gear which may provide better results at this stage ?
