Going for it

Well, after a long period of posting irritating topics about mounts etc on forums I think I know what I'm going to order within a couple of weeks. You all probably know that I was searching for equipment for taking pictures of galaxies and nebula. Well, I think I'm done with searching for stuff. I'll give you the equipment that I'll buy so that you guys could give a final opinion on it.

Mount: Orion Atlas EQ-G (for a testresult, click here).
Scope: 8" f/5 newt
Guidescope: don't really know yet but would a 80mm f/11 be good enough.

The camera that I want to use is a canon AV-1, an "old" SLR.

All this would cost me 2200 euros (2500~2600 USD or 3500 AUD)

Comments are welcome.
