With the remaining cash, I would start with a nice digital camera, tripod and timer release.

thanks James, i am aware of the ASV and its web site and facilities, but I have never joined.
Can members use the telescope at the AP dome to do astrophotography with your own photographic equipment?
I definitely want to move up to a GOTO mount set up. I haven't decided on the OTA yet. I have access to a Holiday house outside Melbourne which generally has very clear and dark skies, so I will most likely set it up there.
Anyway thanks folks for the advice.
Telescopes and astronomy in general have always fascinated me from a very young age. I need to do something in my middle age, and being a night owl, this is the perfect hobby for me.
cheers
