You could also stick something like a C8 on a HEQ5Pro, second hand you can come in under budget, still be really portable and stick an ED80 or a 60mm on there at some point as a widefield scope for DSO photography, or as a guidescope for the C8.
Later on for photography you could use a cheap DSLR ($200) body for widefield, and a 2nd hand DMK21 for planetary (about $250).
