If you are looking for a printer mainly for some astro pics, why is the economy of a laser at 200 prints on plain paper and lower quality attractive ?.

As Barry also says, Ink jets produce much the same quality, so IMO any reasonably priced inkjet with quality paper and (IMO) original (seperate) colour cartridges is the go. Unless your printing 100s of copys, or mainly text, laser is not ideal.

NO, dont get astro prints done at the shop. In my experience, astro prints are very hard to get smick, it always takes a few tweaks and copys to get right, its never the same as an LCD screen (unless you are a fanatic expert on colour spaces and calibration). Try tweaking in a shop, or going there multiple times over a few days for test prints........not ;-)
