If you want to come out to Mudgee I'd be happy to show you a bunch of options, I have access to a range of scopes, mounts and camera setups, and there is the Mudgee observatory to visit and pick their brains.

For most DSO photography I'd go for a 4" refractor on an EQ6pro mount or CGEM mount.

The mount is the most important bit by a long shot, a $4000 scope on a crappy mount won't perform as well as a $1000 scope on a great mount.

I'd spend the money on the mount, maybe 2nd hand if you can score one, and a good guider. Whatever is left spend on the scope and adapters etc.
