Hi Astropheonix and welcome to SGL. Do you have a planned budget in mind for equipment? Astro photography can be a bottomless money pit, so it helps to have a rough idea how much you would like to outlay first. Youv certainly come to the right place though :)

Welcome to SGL  :smiley: .  It depends on what you can afford to pay for your first scope!, You get good value for money with refractor telescopes,  Some thing like a http://www.firstlightoptics.com/evostar/skywatcher-evostar-90-eq2.html for around the £150.00 mark! :smiley:,

You can mount your camera using a T Mount & adaptor  to the telescope then! :grin: .

Hi and welcome to SGL - As recommended getting hold of a copy of Making Every Photon Count will be a good starting place, but whether you can get it sent to India, I don't know. Certainly hold off of buying anything until you've done bags of research. Be realistic as well about what you want to achieve.

Look forward to seeing you around :smiley:
