Hi JA Welcome to astrophotography it can be a hard task to find the right gear to start sounds like you are heading in the right direction so far ,i have a spare skywatcher ED80 PRO SERIES its a good scope but i have too many scopes and its up for sale it has a williams optics red dot finder and i could throw in a williams optics diagonal ,you would still need a guide scope and camera probaly around $300 mark 2nd hand if you are interested i have it for sale in the telescope section ,and iam dropping the price to $600 ED80S are a good starting point wide field and good deep sky
Good luck you will not look back
