Will you be doing deep sky or planetary astrophotography?

For deep sky astrophotography within your budget, get a second hand DSLR, lens and a star tracker like the skywatcher star adventurer 2i. This might be a bit over budget so if necessary get the DSLR and lens to start out with and then get the tracker

#

Don’t get the astromaster 130eq, the optics are pretty bad and the mount isn’t high enough quality to do AP with

With a lot of looking out on used markets you can probably get a tracker and camera within your budget

Australia is pretty decent for this. Especially east coast
