I have no experience of it but here's a review of it that suggests your price is in the right ballpark.

However, I think for imaging you are going to want a totally different set up to this one. It'll need to be motorised at least - which this scope isn't. Hth

What is your budget?

This is not too different from the scope you posted about on your introduction. Do you have  Skywatcher dealer near you? If so look at the Star Travel range. They offer an alternative to just selecting Celestron.
