Mick,

This will depend on what Camera and target imaging you will be doing.

Small chip CCD's will need something like an ED80 or even shorter focal length where a large CCD or CMOS chip like a DSLR or dedicated SBIG camera's can be used on larger aperture and longer focal lengths scopes for DSO's.

A small ccd chip is not optimal for a large aperture long focal length scope.

This will also depend on what you want to do regarding widefield or longer focal length imaging.

If you had a camera in mind and what you plan on imaging then we could offer a good match.

There is no such thing saying a particular scope is great for Astrophotography.
