I'm not an astrophotographer, but I wouldn't think the Celestron is the best option for this. You could get a used equatorial mount like the HEQ5 Pro or CG-5 for around $800. Both can be controlled via a laptop.
Many people here use an ED80 scope for photos. You can get a used one for around $500 (Skywatcher, Saxon, etc).
Cheers
