Get the best mount you can, then figure out what camera (DSLR or CCD), and dip your toe into the water with something like an ED80, or short focal length newt (I use an 8" f4).
When I say "The best mount you can" I don't mean go cheap, I reckon you will soak the budget on just the mount, and this isn't a bad thing. The G11 would be a minimum and really it doesn't need to be Gemini.
Good luck, it is a minefield out there. Gama has wise words, get to as many star parties and become a sponge.
