Hi all
I bought a Pentax K-x DSLR a year or two ago, when I first got it I jumped straight into a bit of photography. Obviously I had to keep my exposures very short as I only had a standard tripod. Below is a couple of photos:

You can see the limitations with short exposures so I'm now considering getting some starter equipment (which I assume is some sort of equatorial mount and a telescope) to start taking longer exposures.
Can someone point me in the right direction with what I need? I will be interested in taking shots of the planets, but I will be especially interested in nebula as they are very interesting. My budget is really only say $300-$400 at this stage, I'm guessing this won't buy me too much?
