If i was starting imaging i would look at fast scopes which are more forgiving; say like an 8" imaging newt, or a wide field f5-6 APO refractor. AP requires an EQ mount, AZ is nice to have but un-necessary for imaging, and visual in my opinion. I would not buy a spotting scope as a guide scope, there are better choices. Have a look at the ZWO guidescope, cist effective and they work fine. Of course you will need a guide camera, but you could start out shooting short subs where guiding is not necessary.
As mentioned below, inaging at the Meade's long focal length requires some experience and more specialised equipment.
