Using a ASI1600 at 2400mm would leave you with an image scale of 0.325"/pixel and a FOV like the image attached. So I guess it depends on what you're wanting to achieve.
You'd also JUST fit in NGC 253 if you got the camera rotation correct.
Ultimately I think you'd potentially be better with a 10-12" Truss Newtonian around the F/4-5 mark as it would better suit the ASI1600.

Thank you Colin I certainly appreciate the photos.
I guess I would really love ke to go after galaxies I am just worried that I am probably biting off more than I can chew.
