Thanks Bugeater,
the NEQ6 Pro GOTO mount with a reasonable reflector is what I am leaning towards.
Slippery slopes are everywhere so we all need some common sense and realism to temper our expectations with anything we do - especially hobbies which can get out of control. I am not trying to win global astrophotography competitions or impress NASA. I merely want to dive into my hobby a little deeper and generate an image record of some of the objects I regularly follow during observations and perhaps record some special events when they occur, like comets, eclipses (like the lunar eclipse we just had in Melbourne) etc.
I could delay the purchase for 12 months when I get access to an additional $1,000, which will give me more bargaining power with the gear dealers - ie buying some accessories along with the scope and mount.
