Hi Roy.
I would have advised to stay away from an RC straight off the bat as learning collimation can be tricky. I've owned 2 RC's and was only able to get a decent collimation after purchasing both a tak collimating scope and a laser collimator, and even then it wasn't perfect.
RC scopes imo tend to be a money sink, but can be extremely worth it with the images you can potentially take. My RC8 cost me $1300, but I had more invested into the miscellaneous items to actually get it to be decent (upgraded moonlight focuser, reducer, collimating tools etc all costing close to $2000). If you're prepared to invest money into the scope, the outcome will be very pleasant and rewarding for astrophotography.
