Well Bird, in the case of the imaging newt, yes, my primary interest for it is in DSOs. That said, I do have a Istar 127mm refractor, f12, at a 1500mm fl, which I use mostly for planetary work; with it's long fl I can push it to fairly high power, and yes I can image with it. My choice of these two budget scopes gives me the reach I want, in a light weight package (important for us retirees), and at a price point that is affordable for me (I built the Istar around the Istar provided objective). They both ride my NEQ6 comfortably.
For people about to point out the Istar is an Achro, don't bother, with it's long focal length and the appropriate filter and post capture processing there is no CA in my images.
