If you're going to get into imaging you'd be much better off getting an HEQ5 not an EQ5. I started with an EQ5 and very quickly got frustrated with it when imaging, especially when I started guiding.
If your budget is limited just concentrate on the mount and don't worry about guiding for the time being, however if you want to take exposures longer than about 60 seconds you'll need an autoguiding setup

Just my two cents...
