What equipment to get?

Hello all,
I'm only just starting out with astrophotography and I've realized my 10" dobsonian is not a good telescope for this. To that end I'm looking at getting a new scope. I'm really new to this so any advice is really helpful!

Budget: ~ $3000 if possible.
Target for my photography: right now I'm thinking planets, but I know I will want to go nebulae and galaxies. Given the choice I'd say optimize for nebulae.

I'm thinking something like this to get started:

http://www.bintel.com.au/Mounts---Tr...oductview.aspx

What else would I need? I already have camera mounts and eyepieces. Is an autoguider preferred, or is that something I would get later?

any help greatly welcome!
