Beginner / Help needed

I just got into Astrophotography and would like to dive deeper into the topic.

My Telescope is a BRESSER Pegasus 130/650 EQ3 Reflector Telescope f/5 focal ratio which i got for my birthday. Its better used for Deep Sky photography and less optimal for Planets but i figured as a beginner it should do the trick.

I also got a BRESSER HD Moon & Planetary Camera & Guider 1.25" which might not be the best but like i said its just the beginning.

Now to the part thats been bugging me. I got some really good photos of the moon with the camera but every time i try and get a picture of any planet like Saturn or Jupiter they only appear as a blurry mess no matter how much i tweak with the focus or camera settings. Now the thing is i cannot really stack images because i don't have a motorized mount to take long exposure videos of said objects.

Now my Question is how or what should i upgrade? Should i first buy a Go-To Mount, directly save up for a better suited telescope for planets or buy a camera that is better suited for Deep Sky objects?
