OK cool so it's not a setup I would choose if you're just getting astrophotography because of the focal length. Great for planetary imaging but not DSOs to get started with.

Go for a small, fast refractor and you'll no doubt find it much more satisfying. I use a 4" refractor and you can see wildly different views depending on what camera I put on it.
