Red face Astrovideography help?

Hello folks,

I bought a 12" collapsible skywatcher dob a few months ago and due to its bulk, have decided to build a somewhat sort of, observatory. I intend, however, on controlling it remotely as it will be on top of my roof. I understand that astrophotography is near on impossible without an equatorial mount, but I am not interested in creating fascinating detailed images, I simply want to enhance what is seen through the scope, onto another display (obviously in as good detail as possible but I am aware of the limitations). During my research endeavours, I came across a couple of companies specialising in this area, however, they all appear quite outdated for some reason. I would like to cap my budget at 500 for the camera, as I have the other equipment. Could one of you kind samaritans please help me in choosing such a camera? Also, what is the best way to motorise my dob, just the GoTo upgrade? Or is there some fancy equatorial GoTo upgrade someone is aware of? All and any help is appreciated! )

Cheers, Harry
