The AZ mount will only be useful for the moon, sun (with appropriate filters) and planets. DSO objects will rotate even though you are tracking them, so they may stay in the centre of the camera, but will rotate, so it is hard to stack the images.
Other than getting a hyper star setup (which your scope doesn't support), there really is no other way than using an equatorial mount, if you want to do deep-sky.
The new LX80 will be out in January, it may be worth a look at the more budget end.
But try the moon and jupiter first with what you have *now* and you can get used to taking images and using the software etc. then wait for a 2nd hand HEQ5Pro, EQ6Pro or similar to come up, or look at the LX80. You will learn a lot while you are waiting and get some lovely moon and jupiter images while you wait. Grab a filter and have a go at the sun too!
