Cool What to choose from

Hi guys. i'm an old member thats returning to this hobby.. when i left a few years ago i had an 8" dob. it was an awesome first scope. But at the time i wanted more.... i wanted to do astrophotography, but certain situations happened and i just had to walk away.

But now i'm back.

1. I'm looking at purchasing either a HEQ5pro or 6.
2. I want to do DSO work.
3. I'm looking at spending around the $2500 for the scope and mount.
4. I've seen a few skywalker and saxon scopes available in this price range, but am unsure on the quality of these brands.
5. Another thing i am unsure of is if i should get a camera 300D or the like, or if i should go a CCD unit.

6. In terms of "What else i need" can someone point me in the right direction... i'm talking about equiptment to get me shooting good quality photo's with the equiptment at hand (leaving experience out of it for now).
