Start with your fastest scope would be my advice, if that is the 130 then that is good because you will get more apeture as well, and you can forget about a reducer. The130 might have some field curvature if you do not have a flattener but it should be ok to get started.
Pick out some bright targets, like Orion, and the Tarantula, and go from there. Howcare you controlling the camera? A simple interval meter will work, or you can start using BYEOS, which would need a laptop to connect to the camera. If your not at that point yet, just use an interval meter yo set up your run. Take some exposures and save them to your computer, then download DSS to stack them for you.
