my thoughts on the matter for buying individual components.....more towards astrophotography
the mount is the most important peice of your kit, and you should buy a good one first up IMHO the eq6 is the minimum choice, going up from there gm8, g11, then on to expensive stuff.
you can take a good image with a good mount and an lower budget scope.
putting a great scope on a poor mount is like putting lipstick on a pig.
..... a moment to compose oneself....... dont buy a cheap mount if you want to do astrophotography... visual is not such an issue.
