Camera question

Hi all from Gilgandra (bortle 2 location)

I am planning to get into DS astrophotography. I currently have 2 canon dslr’s (60D and 200Dmk2). I will be using these cameras only on small tripod with standard 18-35mm lens at first to learn how to use them effectively, but eventually putting them onto my celestron 8se and skywatcher 80ED scopes on skywatcher AZ-EQ6 mount. The 60D is 18megapixel, and the 200D is 24megapixel. My dilema is this- is the higher megapixel going to be better for using on the scopes, and will the file size be an issue? Would I still get the same results (say at iso 1600) from each camera, irregardless to their megapixel rating?
