Welcome Shaun.
Good advice from Chris there. As a newb to this myself they are the questions people ask and obviously your budget is the crucial part !
I have recently been using a portable tracker (Sky Watcher Star Adventurer) with my existing dslr and tripod for widefield sky images but have sold that as rather than spend money on expensive long lenses I'm going with a sturdy EQ goto mount and scope. The mount takes up to 13.5kg compared to the Star Adventurer's 5kg.
If you don't have any get yourself some binoculars and star map to go with Stellarium and start learning the skies if you don't know them already, if you don't end up with a GoTo mount then you'll need to be able to star hop your way across the sky.
