Advice on Astrophotography Setup

Hi All,

I recently upgraded to a Mewlon 250 with EM400 mount.

I am mainly using for visual but am interested in considering Astrophotography.

I am not quite ready yet for Mono and Filter wheels and all of the other complexity and paraphernalia.

Basically I want to put together a simple, colour "one shot" system that requires minimal stacking and post processing.

I would be interested in a 6 Megapixel to 8 Megapixel setup(or more depending on cost vs benefit ).

I have read recently that systems that use the Sony progressive scan SuperHAD sensors like the QHY-8PRO and SXVR-M25C use can provide very good images some which need minimal retouch and minimal stacking.

Also I do not have a second scope for Autoguide at this stage and was hoping that I might be able to use an off Axis Guider.

Targets would be DSO's and Planets.

I would appreciate hearing advice and thoughts on above.

Thanks
