Hi Adrian
I think your on the right track with considering a small APO as a first imaging scope , the longer the focal length the more difficult it is to guide and with the 200R being very slow ( F10 ) makes for very long exposures.
You could look at some of the William Optics scopes that have great optics and nice 10/1 geared focusers.
But probably the most important thing is a good mount some thing like a HEQ5 or EQ6 sound good although may need some tinkering to get them peforming at there best and could handle a bigger ota latter on.
Whatever your budget spend most of it on the mount and you will have more luck with your imaging.
Thanks
Zane
