Seriously forget about an f4 as a beginner rig , but it’s your decision

Just remember for imaging you have to add in addition to the OTA , imaging camera , coma corrector , adapters , guide scope , guide camera , focuser, dew straps , mounting plates , cabling and so on.... so another 4 or 5 kg !!!!

As I mentioned previously an 8” f5 newt is the ideal beginner to intermediate scope for imaging ( and visual ) on that mount
