Start simple - a ED80 apo refractor on a HEQ5 mount - so $2K of scope and mount gear + $1K camera and add $2K imaging software - before you seriously target long focal lenght, heavy SCTs with mirror shift challenges - which pushes you into about a $12K spend for the majoirty of gear you need! The mount's you'd need to carry and point such a OTA - starts at the high $5,000 range (say a G11).
