How about a refractor to start with - something like an 80mm or 100mm Skywatcher ED- I know it sounds puny when compared with the might of a 12" or 16" scope but I think you would be pleased and surprised with the results they will achieve. Large apeture scopes are difficult to manage for AP and take skill and experience to produce good images - I know I fell into the apeture trap when I started. There are a number of good imagers in IIS - take a look at their web pages and the equpment they are using - you may be surprised.
Cheers
