Astrophotography GoTo mount expanding search

Hi Folks,

Having enjoyed visual astronomy this year using a basic 8” Dob, I’ve decided to put a toe-in-the-waters of astrophotography … knowing too well, and having been suitably warned, that it may eventually lead to social isolation, divorce, bankruptcy, and insanity!

I already have an old Canon 550D, and have just acquired a used SkyWatcher ED80 from another IIS member.
I’m now looking for a small/medium GoTo equatorial mount in good working order to get me started.

I am now looking for either a HEQ5 pro or an NEQ6.

Something along the lines of these recent Archive adds would be ideal:
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...highlight=HEQ5
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...light=HEQ5+Pro
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...light=HEQ5+Pro

Prefer something Melbourne/Vic based, but am willing to pay for postage if necessary.
If anyone is considering selling due to a recent or pending upgrade, please send me a PM.

Many Thanks,

P.S. Please don't let my low post count spook you. I have been active on the buying side for bits and pieces over the last 3-4 months but not the selling side and I'm sure some of the fellow IIS members who i have bought from can vouch for me.
