Hi Nicole
Well as wished and first of all: Good Luck!
I have the Gold Pro Series version of the ED80 the previous version. I have been very happy with it and have found it great for beginner deep space astro imaging. I also have it mounted on an Orion Skyview Pro Mount (Synscan) so it is very similar to the EQ5 that you will be using.
It will be a great start for you.
Let us all know how you go
