Depends on your budget, but you’d be looking at small refractor telescopes or lenses

Samyang 135mm lens is the best if you dont need to shoot galaxies

budget would be about £600

There won’t really be an all-in-one option for planetary on that mount I’m afraid. I’d recommend getting a samyang 135mm like Tomaz said, and then get a second hand 8” dobsonian for planetary

It’s not necessary to track for planetary imaging though

Tbh with your budget, if you buy things second hand you might be able to get both. The Skywatcher classic 200p comes up for around £200 occasionally on astro buy and sell UK and Facebook marketplace, and I’d imagine you’ll be able to get hold of a samyang 135mm f2 for <£400 second hand
