Thanks for that Raymo.

If I was to do any imaging beyond my dslr and lenses I'm currently using, it would be to look at a small 80mm refractor or 6 or 8inch reflector. (ive got an 8 inch I can try out already).

And what do you deem to be serious imaging? I'm interested in the large nebulae, bigger globs and galaxies right now. And I still enjoy very widefield stuff but my existing tracker is sufficient for anything below 100mm FL up to 5min unguided.

Keeping it light and simple setup is a main priority for me right now. If I was going to do serious imaging I'd have an observatory in my backyard with permanent pier setup. Which is a whole other discussion.... (Is it worth having an observatory in town?)

As far as setup time between the star adventurer and the HEQ5 is there much difference. I'm assuming there's not a whole lot of difference there.
