As for Astrophotoraphy you will need to attach your camera and see if you get enough 'IN' travel to get focus.
If you don't you will need to either:
- get a low profile focuser
or
- move the mirror up the OTA
or
- both

I put my camera on the dob mounted OTA last night and I don't get enough "IN" therefore it does indeed look like I need another focusser.
