I think what we are trying to say is there is no "Catch all" camera. you have to kind of pick what you want to do and go for it. As for your telescope riklaunim nailed it with the rotation, the thing is the OTA doesn't rotate with the sky, and a Alt az operates in a up down left right fashion, making unguided exposures very difficult.

Doing DSO astrophotography requires different hardware than say planetary/solar. Lots to think about let us know if you would like any more information.
