Newtonian Reflectors for Astrophotography

Would just like some feedback from IIS members who use Newtonian reflector telescopes for astrophotography imaging

As a beginner I use a 6” f6 with 900mm fl for both visual and imaging work,a great little starter scope, light, easy to collimate, easy to clean the primary mirror , clean crisp views,reasonably good imaging,only set me back $299

I notice a large number of IIS members use refractors, SCT and MN’s which are substantially more expensive than the humble old newt reflector

Interested to see any comments / views on the Newtonian reflector vs Refractor for astrophotography work
