If your just starting with CCD I'd suggest using a 'fast' scope as it just makes everything easier while your learning. I would look at a 8" imaging Newtonian, which will give you true colour rendition, fast at f4 or f5, and has the focal length to give you DSO options beyond wide field. A NEQ6 is a good choice as an all round EQ mount that would give you capacity to grow up to 10" Newts, or equivalent scope weight (basically imaging capacity is around 15kg for the scope and keep the total weight under 18kg if you can).
