Both those camera have tiny sensors approx 6mm in diagonal, and would only be suitable for planets using short exposure times.

They would be unsuitable for DSO's due to the small sensor size. Also they are not cooled, so you would be limited in exposure time before the dark current noise overwhelms the image.

If you can hold off and save up a bit, get a camera with a larger sensor that has cooling, like the ASI533MC or ASI183MC both 16mm diagonal.

You will be able to do planetary and DSO's this way. There are only 3 planets worth imaging Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and you will get bored with just those three after a couple of months, if you bought a small sensor camera.
