You could get by with just the 45 degree erect.
I have a little 80 x 400 and use it for a guide scope, a field scope (I am into birds) and as a telephoto lens on the 300d for terristial shots..worth ever cent of the $200 it cost.
Pennant Hills eh..I am next door but one when in Sydney.
The mount is the most important part of a rig..that is hard to appreciate when starting but believe it... you can take reasonable astro shots with a good mount and a crap scope but not the other way about... start pricing mounts if you are considering photography..eq5 or eq6 are the cheapest reasonable entry level. I have an eq6 and it is very good used with a 750mmfl 150sn.
AND welcome from me.
