you need dark clear skies to get 'wow' images...
the scope needs an equatorial mount...
it needs to track the object for hours of photos....
the scope needs a BIG aperture and I'm talking 16 inches for the 'wow' factor
the retailers in oz answer questions wonderfully , and they will give you options , and then you still need to understand what your photos will end up being like...
finally, lots of astro photos show things which equire special filters and false colour imaging ....
