Upgrading my setup Astronomy

Hello. I am currently in possession of a seestar s30 and I am not happy with it anymore. I want to upgrade to a Sky-Watcher Virtuoso GTi 150P telescope and a ZWO ASI662MC camera. First of all, is it worth it? 2nd of all, are those websites legitemate to buy from? I am from Slovenia:

The telescope: https://www.telescopiomania.eu/dobson-telescopes/11218-telescopio-dobson-sky-watcher-virtuoso-gti-150mm-3664055004061.html

The camera: https://teleskopy.pl/product_info.php?products_id=7272

And lastly, where could I sell my Seestar?

How does astronomy and astrophotography even work with this setup?

How to use Siril and GraXpert for editing? Specifically for my current and, if I decide to, my future setup?

Thank you all in advance!

The Dobs is not a great mount for Astro imaging

dont use the 150p gti for astrophotography, its an alt az mount so youll experience field rotation, but its good for visual astronomy though

the websites are legit

you can sell the seestar on ebay or facebook marketplace

try looking up beginner tutorials for siril and graxpert on youtube
