I began with a 120mm acro and an EQ5 with drives and naively believed I could spend a while learning with the EQ5. If you're sure you want to photograph the sky, don't skimp on the mount, don't purchase intermediate equipment; go straight for a capable mount and build your rig on that. It seems a few beginners have even regret getting an HEQ5Pro as an intermediate step because they were looking for the 6 so quickly afterwards. Even so HEQ5's seem to move pretty quickly on this site if you want to trade up. EQ5's not so quickly. I'm still saving for an adequate mount. Good luck.
