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?
There are a very high quality corrected newts out there see:

Or less extreme and since others have already mentioned Vixen the RSS200 with its custom corrector works well.

These scopes have the advantage of fast optics.

The VC200L (which I own) is slower at F9 but has a large flat field so it is suitable for large format sensors.
