if that's all you will get then its pointless doing deep sky photography. you would be better off using a 50mm lens or 135mm using a tracking mount like
https://www.bintel.com.au/product/sk...-bundle-black/ or something of that ilk . setup get a few happy snaps. to do any real justice you will need a few hours on each target. if your going visual then get a 8-12" dob for visual. sorry but you cant mix a cheap nasty mount and expect to get great images. you need tracking both axis and autoguiding. to be honest the bare minimum is a heqpro5
as for your mount choice - i reserve the right not to answer on the grounds that i may not say what you want to hear
