New AP setup

Hi All,

I am looking at buying some equipment to start taking some photos. Being as I only have a rickety 5" reflector at the moment it will be a whole new setup.

I want to future proof myself as much as I can so my initial thoughts after reading about a million forum posts and reviews are a:

An EQ6 mount (EQMOD control and all that stuff), an ED80 refractor and use my current DSLR.

This should give me plenty of leeway to upgrade to bigger OTA at a later date. The ED80 can become a guidescope for the bigger system.

Im still looking at how I will guide the initial setup. Maybe the Orion 50mm mini guidescope and starshoot autoguider camera?

Looking forward to your thoughts and ideas.

Daff
