Thanks for the advice, I think I didn't explain my thinking properly. The idea is to buy the eq6 as I will get pleasure out of using my C8 visually, and piggybacking my DSLR to play with imaging whilst I save up for something like an ED 80. I'll get to mess around with my toucam and play with planetary stuff, get to learn about stacking and alignment and setting up etc. Then by the time I can afford a decent scope and camera for imaging, I'll at least have a decent mount ready to use, and be familiar with it and the whole process and be more informed to make a choice re camera and scope. That mount will mean I have more options at that point, and if I find I don't like it, it seems to hold it's value well.
