I have exactly the same set up as you mention (as well as the same first name as yours). I wouldn't mod your camera yet. I have not done more than scratched the surface of the possibilities of my 'scope because the limitation is weather: we are between the slopes and mountains in NSW and cloudiness is common although there is little light pollution (Canberra in the SE). I have averaged 2 nights viewing/photography a month in the last three years. I would say don't spend a lot upfront unless you have a good site - the 8" scope needs a permanent set up, it is too heavy to lug around the country and the EQ takes time to align.
Best of Luck
