Haha, sometimes the expletives just come out! The 7Dii is awesome for starting out, don't worry about the Sony for this stuff. Sony aren't big on releasing their sdks, so there is next to f-all third-party software to control them and you don't want to be going near the scope to trigger the camera. For the oag, the Orion thin off axis guider is a good one and works well incorporating a range of cameras including dslrs.

Besides the various bits of cables etc that's about it. You will need a USB to serial cable for controlling the mount by computer, but don't buy that retail they are overpriced in my opinion. I can arrange one for you.

Then once you are wanting to get out into a dark zone, you run all this off a 12v deep cycle battery, pour some whiskey and enjoy the night!
