This one or that one?

Hi all, I want to learn to take great photographs of Nebulae, planets and other beautiful things out there. I want to by a Celestron and was thinking one of these two:

C8 SGT (XLT) http://www.celestron.com/c3/product....D=11&ProdID=60

CPC http://www.celestron.com/c3/product....ID=9&ProdID=33

I have read that the equatorial mount on the C8 would be better for the pics but one reviewer said that beginners like me would find it hard to set up.
Is the 8 too big for what I need ?
Any reccomendations om a CCD? What else do I need to start taking pics?
Should I need the extra eyepieces on offer or the power supply?
A lot of Questions I kow , buit this is a big spend for me and I want to get it right
Thanks in anticipation
Mekon
