GSO rc 8 vs 10" skywatcher Newtonian for astro

Hi all

I am looking to get into astrophotography with the ambition to photograph as many galaxies as I can. I have a Neq6 pro go to stand, a 600d canon dslr and a small refractor I will use as a guide scope. The next question is what reflector scope I want to get. I want a reflector because of the large aperture and lower f ratio (hence shorter exposures). I can't decide between the GSO rc 8 and the skywatcher 10" newtonian which are the best that I can afford. I live in the north of Sydney and will be getting a fair bit of light pollution. Any help would be great.
