Depends what you want the scope & mount to do. Is it for visual or astrophotography? Do you want goto or prefer to "hunt the heavens"?

If for visual then anything from a HEQ5 & up (maybe even an EQ5..aka ASGT mount from Celestron) will just about suffice but if for astrophotography..it's all about the mount so buy a good'un. Be aware Astrophotography is like a hole you throw money into!

If you want to "hunt the heavens" then a good Alt/Az mount may suit.
