Robert,
I don't have any experience with either of the
two scopes you
mention so I cannot comment on their
suitability.
However, I would recommend that you worry about
what mount
to get rather
than the scope. If you don't have a good mount
then even a
great scope is quite useless.
I know it is fun to take pictures right away but
reading
a good introductory text such as Astrophotography
for the
Amatuer by Michael Covington or Deep Sky
Astrophotography
by Robert Reeves will give you a good idea of
what you
should start with.
Finally, the APML archives at http://astro.umsystem.edu/apml
are an invaluable resource and you will find
numerous
recommendations for beginners.
