That’s a fine visual scope you have there which can get into some entry level Astrophotography. Ive had the Skywatcher 12” Goto dob for 2 years now for visual only and it’s fantastic
Although you are limited to short exposures ( up to 20 or 30 sec) due to tracking and field rotation, you can still have a lot of fun imaging the planets , moon and various DSO objects like star clusters etc...
Something like an old Canon 450D or 600D and a T ring and adapter will get you started
Maybe down the track if you want to get more serious about AP a popular EQ mount like a Skywatcher HEQ5 is a good choice as it can handle an AP payload of up to 9kg.I started with a 6” f6 newt on my HEQ5 and still use it, or alternatively an 80mm or 100mm refractor
Good luck and enjoy this amazing hobby !!
