Yes, Im with Gama there, a DSLR would be a good start. You should get into guiding straight up at that FL, or you will be buried in frustratingly bad images, an ST80/QHY5 combo would be cheap, light and do you for years of OTA/mount/cam upgrades.
And get good software to start, Maxim DL springs to mind, it will handle capture, guiding, processing. I made the mistake of fiddling with several cheap/free apps to start, you waste a lot of time with multiple steep learning curves. Pick a good one and stay with it, and youll get good at it over the years. Also, IP is the standard for DSLR processing.
If you can afford it, a QHY8 would be a imaging cam. Getting by with a cheap cam can be discauraging too.
Its a bit of a myth that starting with inappropriate cheap gear is a good start "untill I get used to it", you would find a QHY5 cam for DS imaging , or no guiding very fustrating and maybe put you off altogether, nothing gained by that.
