RC design is not good for visual work, simply because the secondary is so large it reduces contrast severely. By comparison a Newtonian of say around f4.5 will have a small secondary and will be nice for visually viewing faint and diffuse objects. My recommendation is to look at either a refractor or an 8" Newtonian. Either will be much better than an RC.
