Nothing wrong with an 8” f5 newt for Astrophotography
Plenty of aperture and focal length
I’d recommend the Bintel GSO over the Skywatcher black diamond series
GSO is a better build and a much better dual speed focuser ( I have both GSso and Skywatcher telescopes )
Here’s some images captured over the past 4 months with the 8” f5 newt on my EQ6-R mount
