A mount with an EQ platform would be better (dare I say essential) for astro-photography.
You can get a Meade LX80 8" OTA on HEQ5 mount for about $2.5k or a Meade LX600-ACF 10" f8 for about $7.3k. The latter has been designed for astro-photography and comes with many features especially for those imaging.
Both telescopes available from Bintel.

Ah yes thanks for the pickup RE: focal length!
If the mount is fully computerised like the Celestron CPC, does that not track in the same manner that an EQ would? More for my understanding than suggesting id rather get fully computerised!
I will take a look at that Meade, for some reason I completely forgot about Meade's offerings!
