Beginners setup rig

Afternoon everyone
Haven't posted on here in a while and kind of getting having another look at a rig setup for myself.

I currently have a Canon EOS 7D and will use that for photos but have no clue what im looking at as a setup rig in scope and mount.

Can someone break it down for me and explain what the hell im looking at cause the more I have been reading the more I am getting confused.

I would like to go something good value for money but not overly expensive. $1500 i think would be prob my budget.

Please give me details on what i should get. I ahve seen some awesome works on flickr and it has just sparked my interested again and I want to give it a try myself. Although the rigs that these guys were using are about $5k just for the scope something cheaper that can do something similar would be fantastic.

Example here http://www.flickr.com/photos/31986095@N05/5513385957/
He is using an Orion Atlas mount with an Orion ED80 scope from what i gather. No idea what the other stuff means however.

Cheers
Michael
