Hi Romina.

I would think those scopes are basically the same. There long focal length would be

useless for most deepsky work. Unless you buy a cheap reducer, maybe the GSO

one. That could work. These scopes also only have 90mm aperture so would be dim

even for visual use. I have an 4 and 5" Mak I'm thinking of selling (if interested).

They have brighter images.

If it were myself though, I would save up for an Heq5 and 6" sct or Gso Rc or 80ed and reducer. Also your camera may not be great at imaging the planets but good on deepsky.

Cheers bigjoe.
