I would add to that if possible a small wind profile to make it useable on more nights if windy. AP RHA 305 may well be the ideal telescope for the average imager.

Yes a wind break is necessary for sure

Yes the AP RHA is certainly an excellent choice in thsi regard... but it is rather expensive compared to an equivalent fast Newt with the same specs (which when built and tweaked properly will likely out perform the RHA) plus it is notoriously hard to get your hands on one.
