See https://skyandtelescope.org/astronom...rophotography/

There are arguments for both. For scientific imaging then perhaps CCD, for pretty pictures it probably doesn’t matter, for planetary and lunar ’lucky imaging’ then perhaps CMOS.

There are many other references online.

Disclaimer. I am not an astro photographer. There are just too many quality images by too many others for me to want to pursue that interest. I like and prefer seeing astro objects through an eyepiece. When I want to look at pretty pictures I browse through the coffee table book on IIS galleries. Whichever camera you get I’m sure I and many others will enjoy your images there.
