Have you considered simply driving out of Sydney like the rest of us do on the new moon weekend to a dark sky site?
$5K will get you a C9.25 and an EQ mount. You'll also need a field battery. A camera. Maybe a Field flattener. Probably a replacement focuser to prevent mirror flop. A guide scope, a guide camera. Probably a laptop too. Some image processing software. Come to think of it you'll need alot more then 5K with that setup. Ok Scratch that.
An edge 8" + CGEM mount is nearly $4500 as well. Hmm.
ED80 and an EQ6 Pro and a guide scope?
