Depends if you want to do solar system/DSO/widefield?
For most DSO work the following should get you off to a good start:
EQ6 Pro Mount $2,100 (Bintel)
Orion ST80 Guide Scope $339 (Bintel)
Orion Starshoot Autoguider $469 (Bintel)
Canon EOS T-Ring $39 (Bintel)
2" Extension Tube $39 (Bintel)
IDAS-LPS-V2 (Optional) $300 (Approx)
WO 0.8x Flattenr/Reducer (optional) $300 (Approx)
for a total of $3,586, that leaves about $1500 for a telescope:
Orion EON 80 or SW Black Diamond 80 are both good 'scopes.
Of course all this takes you to the upper limit (perhaps leave the filter and flattener till you know what you're doing). You will also need a laptop for the autoguider, some sort of power supply and various cables and other bits and pieces.
Hope this helps ...
