I checked out Astro Pete ( Astro Anarchy ) and the package you bought is exactly what I suggested for beginner Astrophotography
Skywatcher EQ6 mount with a Skywatcher 8” f5 newtonian reflector telescope
If you need any help with the following I have written procedures in PDF I can send you such as -

Finding true south line
Aligning your tripod
Fitting your mount head and setting altitude
Balancing your telescope
Setting home position on your mount
Collimation
Telescope control using Synscan handcontroller
Telescope control from a Laptop using EQMOD and Stellarium
And more .....
Cheers
Martin
