Your budget is a little limited if you also want to buy a new DSLR, you should put as much as you can into a mount, rather than the EQ5 go for a an EQ6 pro and then you can consider modifying your existing telescope. Get a ED80 and get a video camera such as the Orion or Celestron solar system cameras to do the video that your current DSLR cannot do, they start at $160 or so, the 5mpixel Celestron Neximage 5 can be picked up on the internet for $260 (rr $500). You should have a bit of change out of $2000 to get a camera adapter for the 450D to get started on deep space stuff.
