Hi, Sorry for the strange heading, couldn't think of a different way to put it.

So i am looking to get a second scope for imaging.
Currently i have a Skywatcher Evostar 150ED ( not the best for imaging with )
Mount is a Skywatcher AZ-EQ6
Camera is a ZWO ASI2600MC

So basically i am looing for a shorter focal length scope ( I think )
What i want to be able to do is to have a scope that will allow me to be able to image the Orion Nebular and also the Running man in the same frame.

I think if i can get a scope that will allow this, it will be a good size for a lot of the other larger nebulas

Currently with he Evostar 150ED, imaging something like the Orion Nebular, you can just get the entire Nebular in the frame and that is about it.

I was thinking of looking at going with the Skywatcher Esprit 100
Is anyone using or used tis scope before, and if so, is it a good decent scope?

I was also looking at a Newtonian as an option, but just can't really find any that will allow an image of the .

I have been playing around with astronomy.tools to see what sort of images fit in certain scopes,

I am in a Bortle 3 area, maybe possibly a Bortle 2

I am thinking the Evostar 150ED might be just the wrong scope for imaging with, it was recommended by a popular dealer on the Mainland, but think i might of got caught in the sales pitch so to speak, might look at moving this on at a latter date and look at a replacement for that a bit latter on.

But for now just looking for a goo suitable imaging scope to suit the camera, mount and be able to image the Orion Nebular and the running man in the same frame.

I don't really have any clubs close by, i think the closest is about 300km

Sorry for the long drawn out question.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Peter.
