Gaz i'm not sure that either of those scopes are suitable for photography..i have a meade etx90 which is similar to thr skywatcher & while it can give OK views (& is compact for terrestrial observation) a larger scope (bigger mirror diameter) will show much more on planets..a 6" or 8" dobsonian reflector would leave them for dead on planets and dso's
i would keep the 25x70 for terrestrial

the skywatcher scope has a long focal length & is not really suited to photography. the skyrover short 90 i can't find - but its either simlar to the skywatcher or a short f/l refractor {neither are great for photos or planet / dso views)

if you want to get started in photos i would start with a d-slr on a tripod with some wide field shots
