You took the words straight from my mouth Steve!
Thorsdad, an ED80 is one of the finest cheap Astrophotography scopes out there!
Plop it on an EQ5 (which comes with GoTo these days) and you have a nice lightweight EQ GoTo Astrophotography kit, all at a good price.
If you end up wanting to take loooooooong exposures of more than about 2 minutes you may need guiding, but that's off in the future.
