I'm doing astrophotography
Whats Ur budget
Astrophotography with a scope and mount like that is nearly impossible, do not buy it with that purpose in mind
For astrophotography with a telescope you need a motorised equatorial tracking mount which is strong enough to hold the scope, camera and any other accessories whilst still tracking accurately enough to take long exposures. As a rough guide, a mount will be able to do this if your accessories weight less than 50% of the stated weight capacity of a mount, but there are some other factors to consider like pixel scale too
