Hi Nathan,
Welcome to the mind melting world of astrophotography. I spent months trying to get my head around what I thought I needed (as opposed to what I wanted) as a beginner. No doubt others will come to your aid with your questions on scopes but I think your off to a good start. The only advice I will offer is maybe go second hand for your first scope / camera combo if for no other reason than to counter the scourge of upgraditis!

Also maybe factor a laptop into the equation if you haven't already. I believe you can get by with using the hand controller on the NEQ6 but a laptop will be needed for your guidescope etc.
Cheers
Dave
