I believe RC scopes are preferred for astrophotography, but how much better results would you expect compared to say a 6" f5 newt + coma corrector?
The 6 inch newt only has a FL of 750ml so you are limited to wide field, RC's have a much longer FL which is one of the points of using them. So i dont think there is any comparison.

Unfortunately 1600 AUD is cheap for a good imaging scope, A good 4 inch refractor is well over twice that amount, a good 6 inch refractor is well over 10,000 AUD.
