I personally cringe everytime a raw beginner talks about astrophotography as a purchasing criteria in choosing their first scope
Its many orders of magnitude higher in cost and complexity to successfully do astrophotography as compared to visual observing. There is enough to learn in just finding ones way around the night sky and getting the most from a visual scope before delving into the complexities of imaging gear.
Seeing as you want something airplane transportable, the gt4 probably isnt a bad transportable solution, albeit an expensive one for the aperture you get.
How large a scope can you take with you ?
