You don't have to use them both at the same time. You pick your target, and use the scope depending on whether you want a larger image scale for the smaller objects, or a wider view for the extended DSO's like large nebulae. I have an 8" F4 newt for my little CCD for things like galaxies and small nebula ( think M20), and a short refractor for things like the Horsehead and Flame nebula, Eta Carina etc.
Are you going to continue with the Nikon, or will you move to an astro CCD?
CCD sensors are often smaller than DLSR's which will change your FOV and scale again.
