Im sorry but if you want to do tracked astrophotography you need to at least double that budget as an entry point.

When you talk about the mount not being large enough for stability:does that mean that the mount has movement at it's swivel points or does that mean that the associated tripod has movement and vibation because of lack of mass and or contructional bracing.

All of the above. Remember when you are viewing through the telescope, minute vibrations get greatly magnified at the eyepiece. What may appear at a casual glance to be "reasonably sturdy", can be a wobbly nightmare at the eyepiece. For photography you need "rock solid"
I really think those that market cheap scopes on wobbly mounts to those wanting to do astrophotography need to be shot !
Shopping for telescopes is a minefield for the uninitiated.
