welcome to the forums Simon
$900 is probably not nought to get into the guts of astrophotography. for long exposure photography you will need, in the following order
camera (DSLR is fine)
eq motor driven mount
telescope
autoguider package
for planets, you will also need
Barlow lens
dedicated planetary camera
you can do things on the cheap, i.e. use a web cam for planets but at a minimum you are looking at a DSLR, HEQ5 and a 6-8" Newtonian telescope .
if you have a camera and want to get started, i suggest you pick up the mount first and image with standard lenses off that, you can get great results from that.
