Hi Reg

Good to see another person from Gladstone on here .

I am with Alex and I would go a skywatcher eq 5 mount they retail for around $1400 . For a scope you could look at the skywatcher Evo Star ed72 around $600
You will need a field flattener. 085 for the scope for around $500
If you could pick up a second hand zwo air to control your camera and mount from inside your house with no leads .( You will have to use a ZWO camera though. )I think they are the best thing since canned beer. You can do your polar alignment through it as well .

You will be able to do some nice wide field photos over QAL with this scope hooked to a zwo camera . I personnel have never used the 72ed but they look like a pretty good package start with.
