Question Buying a new OTA HELP!

Currently I have an Astrograph after coming from a MAK. I have only used it twice but quickly realised that an Astrograph isn't the scope for me.

All I want is an OTA that can be used for both visual and astrophotography. When I purchased the Astrograph I actually didn't realise that this type of design is purely just for astrophotography. It has a great sized aperture and focal length but is more designed for deep sky stuff and for people who only want to image.

This is what I need in an OTA:
- Ability to use it for both visual and astrophotography
- Be used for planetary/moon and deep sky imagery
- Be suitable for an HEQ5 Pro mount
- Can be used with an Orion 50mm Mini Guidescope
- Budget of no more than how much the Astrograph is worth ($500).

Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Stefan.
