Kindly be patient and read it and of course help me to decide
First thing first, i am newbie in astronomy and i don't have any telescope or mount what so ever but i want to do Astrophotography. But there are two problem:
1) I have limited budget and
2) There is no authorized dealer or shop for telescope where i live.
So i have to buy all the equipment from abroad in fact from Australia cause i have someone who lives there.
After researching about it on internet i realize that a HEQ5 PRO mount and GSO Richey-Chretien 8" telescope will be good just within my budget and as the budget is an issue for me I will use that telescope for
visual usage for now as i will gather more money (God help me) for a camera (may be canon DSLR) i will switch to Astrophotography just like this guy (

1) HEQ5 PRO -----

2) RC-8" f/8 astrograph w/M-LRC focuser

Now, question
1) what kind of Eyepiece do i need to have?
2) What kind and size of extension tube and/or focal extender do i need? (it seems it is needed as pictured in these websites:

3) Do i need right angle telescope eyepiece? If yes which one will fit with it?
4) Will any of this set will work with this telescope?-------

5) What else do i need? for visual now but switch to Astrophotography later.
6) Any other better options available?
As i have to import these things from Abroad i have to be just right so that i can use it right out of the box.
Please help me with your valuable advice.
Thanks in advance.
