Hey Guys
Thanks for all the great advice you've given me =D Thanks to everyone, I'm on my way to owning all this precious gear haha. I've just paid Rob (En1gma) for his awesome HEQ5pro mount which I'm now enthusiastically waiting for and have lined up the remaining equipment which I intend to purchase in the very near future. Doug I can see why you told me the expect to pay double what I expected. 2 months ago I thought I could get a decent imaging setup for under $1000 but am now spending roughly $3500 haha. I don't have a huge budget so I can't afford to go to that EQ6 level just yet. Maybe sometime in the future but unfortunately, I can't afford it now. Besides, Rob has his mount going for a great price and I'm glad I found it haha. I can't say anything for sure yet as I haven't begun imaging yet but from what I've seen I know it's what I want to do.
So far this is what I've been looking at
Mount - HEQ5pro (bought)
Imaging Scope - Skywatcher ED80

Imaging Camera - Modded Canon 400D (buying tomorrow)
Guide Scope/Guide Camera - Orion Awesome Autoguider Package

Malcolm that is a fantastic picture I can't wait to start getting images that look even remotely like that. It's my first and foremost goal to get a kick ass picture of The Great Nebula In Orion haha. It's great to be reassured that even if I don't make the right choice in whichever equipment it may be it'll always be a learning curve.
Again, thanks to everyone for thier advice I do read every post at least twice =P
Cheers,
Casey
