Tthanks for the replies so far guys (and PMs).
Some interesting comments - Jacquie, at this stage I am leaning towards an ioptron altaz mount (minitower or similar) unless somebody comes up with a good reason not to. The clearance issues mentioned are why I am not considering a fork mounted scope.
The gstar ex2 maybe the camera I go with.
To be honest I think its the scope that is my main problem - I have read that a faster scope is better? Also while bigger aperture would be good, I do want to maintain reasonable portability and obviously will need to work with in the carrying capacity of the mount.
Should also clarify that at this stage mainly interested in live observation rather that astrophotography as such..
