i don't think you'll be able to get a computersied mount for 800, even a basic eq3 mount without drives costs 300-400;
for the time being it may be best to settle for either a newtonian reflector (either tube only or dobsonian mount) or a small refractor (e.g.secondhand ed80)
the ed80 will be upgradeable to a good mount later for photography
for the time being a good photo tripod with fluid head will support the OTA
I'm sure you'll get lots of recommendations for a dobsonian -i myself don't prefer this type of telescope -but refractors are more expensive & the lens is also smaller, making objects dimmer
andrewscomm & bintel are the 2 sydney shops you should look into
