I have this scope. I got it from High Point Scientific, which I highly recommend as a retailer.
This is a beginner Telescope, which was what I needed two years ago when i got it. It is best for planetary observation. Don't expect to do astrophotography, mainly due to the wobbly motorized mount. Also you would probably need a field flattener for better pictures. I recommend getting a .67x reducer, and a variable moon filter. Also, get a better optical piece.

Thank you for sharing your insight! Approximately how much do you think that all would cost?

The Celestron variable moon filter in $32 just searching Amazon. It's basically like sunglasses for the telescope. When the moon is full you will sear your retinas looking at it through the scope.
The f6.3 reducer is about $170 and is a nice to have. It takes you down a f-stop.
I also have the celestron variable eye piece that you can zoom with 8mm to 24mm. It's nice to be able zoom in on things. That's $70 on Amazon.
Also know that the Telescope is battery powered. It has a barrel jack for powering it, but does not come with a cord. Buy a power cord for it, like $15. I plug it into a jackery to power it all night

Astrophotography is ridiculously expensive. Like, it's cheaper to become addicted to designer drugs.
You'll wind up going down the aperture rabbit hole and before you know it you'll be saying "Yeah, that $45k hyperia from Vaonis is a rip off, look at my 24" truss dobsonian, it only cost me 35k!" and then someone asks how you do tracking and you start crying.
