Hi Malcolm, I'll suggest consider this, instead:
1. Keep the APO as a OTA to start imaging with. You need a new mount to image with it, plus camera, auto-guider and possibly a laptop, that much is evident.
2. For visual moon & planets, by all means the SW127 + the mount is a nice buy at a good price. This combination is very portable and great for casual observing.
3. Once you learn more about imaging and have a better idea of what you want to do possibly swap the APO for something bigger/better. Or not, as the case may be.
IMHO this is a very slippery slope, think carefully where it leads.
