Totally agree with Alex
A great entry level mount which has a good payload capacity ( 9kg ) for AP and is Ascom compliant for most Astro applications is the Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro
A cost effective scope to use with your DSLR and the HEQ5 mount would be a 6” f5 or 6” f6 Newtonian ( around $350 new ) Good for imaging Lunar , planetary and a large number deep sky objects.A refractor telescope is another choice for AP with the HEQ5 mount but will cost you more
Lots of choice
Make as many enquires as possible before you decide
Good luck !
