I thought so once but some do I believe...I was going to suggest an 8 inch f5 but that was just recomending my preference for something lighter but I think 8 inch is not bad for visual for that matter.

I think Andrews sell a heq5 and 10 inch combo...

I come from a time of long exposures and understressed mounts but that heq5 of mine takes the eight the dslr addititional tube rings 70 mm viewer scope and guide scope...once I would want that on a eq6 minimum...
Another thing if you later wanted a good refractor say a nice little 80 mm you would have a mount for it...
One thing to include is a good set of binnos...I love my 80 mm for visual...and I just bought this other 50 mm pair at a counyry show...bushnel...20 x mag which if I had of noticed at the time would not have bought them ...I thought they would by usual mag but they have turned out the be excellent.

I have been useing them during so many photo sessions...great views in a dark place and well adapted.
