Thanks Clive!
I've got a few lenses, 50mm prime, 24mm prime, 80-200mm zoom (although this one is not in perfect condition) and soon to get a 300 mm zoom. Can I use this for this purpose? I thought I didn't need the lenses as I can just attach cam to telescope with an adaptor?
Ok, if I was to invest in a combination of brand new and 2nd hand equipment, which equipment should I preferably get brand new and which ones should i just get 2nd hand?
Thanks so much for all the help. I don't want to get a set-up that would be extremely difficult to lift although I know it'll be a bit weighty. 3 grand is not a fortune but it is still a lot of money. Guess i'll just have to tighten the belt for the next few months for this gear.
Cheers!
Chris

The main problem with using an OAG is that sometimes it can be difficult to find good guide stars.
