I agree with not getting the DOB for astrophotography, unless you want to simply do short exposure planetary imaging.
If you want to shoot for DSO's ( Galaxies, etc ), you are going to need an autoguide, and a DOB won't do that, even those that have an autotrack, due to it being an alt-az mount, and not compensating for field rotation, etc. For DSO's an EQ mount is really the best option.
Think long and hard, because those faint little fuzzies are difficult to capture. I've been trying for a while now, and it takes a lot of work.
Even getting to the point where you have the right scope/mount, etc, brings up even more questions.
Stick to planetary for now if you really want a DOB, great low cost visual scopes, stick a Tucam or such on.
Cheers
