Been using my 12” dob to browse and take photos of the night sky to someone success but it’s time for an upgrade.

I’m wanting to get into astrophotography and have been using an Olympus 4/3 camera.

My question is...

If I get an eq scope and a ccd camera what’s a good size/combo to get decent shot so of the Leo trio and Stefan’s quintet.

I’m talking images that can be blown up to a3 or more without quality loss.

Would 3-4K cover something?

What’s more important - the scope or the camera.

I can stick to the Olympus but I’d rather get one I can view live on the laptop.

I’m not looking to buy second hand, I prefer new.

I’ve been stung in the past before buying something and then 1-2 months later a new model at half the price comes out.

Thanks in advance.
