So im looking for a great camera that can do most things reasonably well. Once (if ever) I decide on a particular aspect of AP then I can add or upgrade. |
Yeah that was kinda deliberate, highlighting the chicken and egg situation
A C9.25 is a long focal length scope...it'll excell at taking images of many things, bar the largest that won't fit in the FOV. Imaging at f/10 is a challenge for many. Conversely, for planetary and lunar you'll want a Barlow to image at even longer focal lengths.
But the camera you would use for planetary and for DSOs are not necessarily the same thing. With a few exceptions, a DSLR isn't the best tool for planetary and a camera better suited to planetary won't be best for the larger stuff...
It's never easy!
Suffice to say, there are plenty of objects for almost any focal length. It's just knowing where to start. If you decide to go for DSOs, you'll be wanting an equatorial mount capable enough to carry for scope and camera. You can then get a small refractor and image larger things with that mount too, or even go wide wide field and use the camera with just a lens.
