Hi David
You have picked a great hobby so enjoy the journey
If you getting straight into AP then an Equatorial Mount ( EQ) is a must
I have an EQ6-R Mount after 3 years into the hobby , my first mount which I still use in Sydney is a HEQ5
The EQ6-R is a great mount and will last me a lifetime , it carry’s my 8” f5 newt plus all the other AP gear, Canon 600D , guide scope , dew heaters, adapters , coma corrector, cables etc...
Good luck and enjoy this amazing hobby !!
