Good luck Rez,

I'm in the process of upgrading myself. The common advice is to get the best mount you can afford and then work your way up from there.

For me my budget allowed either a Losmandy G11 or a new EQ8.

Here's what I'm going with - it may give you some ideas on how you might move forward.

Mount: EQ8
Scope: 12" newt
OAG: TSOAG9
Guide camera: SX lodestar
Coma corrector: MPCC

Ancillary stuff: cables; adaptors; collimation tools; bobs knobs; springs etc

On the list for down the track includes:

Quality focuser: eg feather touch
Carbon fibre tube upgrade (can order from germany)
Astro camera (upgrading from modded DSLR)
Refractor for widefield

best of luck

cheers,

Rusty
