G'day all, thanks for the

I have been researching as much as i can about astrophotography and have been blown away with all the info, tips, tricks, and knowledge that's out there.

Man, all i was intending to do was take a coupla happy snaps of the moon, easy peasy, so i thought (silly me)

I will be getting an LX200 GPS 10", i suppose because i just like it, and have read many good reviews regarding it's quality, i am yet to see any bad comments about it, although i am sure there would be some around.

I am also intent on getting quality images from my purchase, and feel as though the LX200 will give me that.

I like the images from the ToUcam Pro 840k, and would like your opinion on this matched with the Meade.

I am still not sure on the equatorial mount, and was taken back with the price of a losmandy G-8

I will need to do more research to figure out my needs.

I will be driving to more suitable sites to view a clear sky, so portability is a major factor as well in wanting the LX200.

If i was to buy the Meade, and the ToUcam, what would be your suggestions on the type of wedge or mount to compliment this combo ?

I could put a little more $ to my budget of $7000,
(putting aside say 150 for a decent swag after the misses kicks me outa the house)

Thanks again for all the welcomes and advice.....
