Yes if it is astrophotography you are keen on get the EQ mount
One thing no one seems to have mentioned is that for long exposure astro imaging.. Especially at the 1000 mm focal length you are considering.. You will need to auto guide to get any decent exposure
This means guide scope guide camera possibly the GPUSB box a laptop to control everything and some software.. Guiding And camera control software
This will be additional costs that you must consider if you want to do much more than planetary or widefield with your camera piggybacked onto your telescope
Does your Nikon take video? That would be useful for planetary work
Can I suggest that before you pull the trigger you visit your local astronomy club and see how imagers are set up and the complete set of bits and pieces you need.. If you have not already done so
You will come to a much more informed decision .. And certainly worth the wait
I know once you have made the decision to buy a telescope the urge to act immediately is overwhelming but do more than desk research
If at all possible
