What all of these guys said, Mount is very important.

but do not forget the guiding setup, if you are wanting to do astro photography and don't want to buy a 6,000 mount buy a guiding system straight away! just like the mount, if you cannot keep your camera fixed on one spot your images will always be bad, faint detail will not come though as it will be smudged/blurred by movement/drift. a bit of a guideline

ED 80 (Skywatcher)
ST 80 (orion)
Orion guide camera or an old Meade DSI 1
EQ6Pro/ NEQ6 Wide with the latter being the one to go for.
