So I've recently gotten into Astrophotography, and have taken some decent shots (for what I have I think) with a Canon EOS Rebel T2i, decent tripod, and an intervalometer. But I'm looking to upgrade (gradually, not all at once) and I believe I've found some good options but just want confirmation from someone who isn't an AI (what I've used for most of my researching so far). My goal with this is to be able to take beautiful deep-sky images

List in Order of Priority:
Sky-Watcher EQ-AL55i Pro Equatorial Mount
William Optics RedCat 51 III WIFD f/4.9 Petzval Refractor Telescope
(Though I'm looking for a cheaper alternative depending on where I'm at when I get it)
ZWO ASI120MM-MINI 1.2 MP CMOS Monochrome Astronomy Camera with USB 2.0
Optolong L-Pro Broadband Light Pollution Filter - 1.25"
(I would do it earlier, but I had the cheaper ones/clip-ins for DSLRs aren't very relevant anymore, and it sounds like this one would fit on a telescope. Bortle 6)
ZWO ASI533MC Pro

Also, I do plan to buy these second-hand on Cloudy Nights Classifieds, since I'm a pretty frugal person, and on, no specific budget, but not a lot to go on. So I plan to sell images as well, to kind of pay for the next upgrades. And again, I'm a very complete beginner, so I don't know a whole lot :p

Recently started getting into Astrophotography, I've gotten a few nice-looking images so far (mostly of Star Clusters). I've been researching a full set-up, that I don't plan to get all at once, but gradually, and I just wanted to post here and make sure this is actually a solid set-up, since most of it was recommended and researched by AI. I do hope to sell some of my images on Etsy later on, if thats important.

Current Setup:

Canon Rebel T2I
Amazon Basics Tripod
Intervalometer

Progressive Setup:

iOptron Skyguider Pro
Sky-Watcher Tripod (I'm not sure if its able to hold the weight of a tracker and telescope together, but definitely necessary with a tracker compared to the Amazon one)
Astronimik CLS Filter (I live in a Bortle 6 area)
Redcat 51 Telescope (That's about as far as my research got, since a dedicated camera is probably a whileee away)
(I'd also get a new filter after the telescope probably, since it wouldn't have to be a clip-in anymore, not sure what the upgrade would/should be though.)

Thanks for any help/input!

EDIT: My goal is Deep-Sky Astrophotography.
