I Have the same scope as you, and have it on an EQ3-2 with dual axis drives.
This handles the scope well enough, but if you want to go up in size a bit
in the future, I would definitely get a larger mount. If you want to get a
decent amount of imaging done in any one session I would recommend a
Go-To mount; no star hopping looking for your targets. I have no idea if your budget would stretch to one of those, of course.
I am getting on in years, and have got this scope/mount as my last
because I can carry it complete with battery, and be up and running for
visual in just a few moments. The EQ5 with dual axis drives is the smallest
mount that I would recommend; it is easily portable, and would carry a
C-8 easily for visual, and be at about its limit for imaging. An HEQ5 or
equivalent would be better, but is much heavier and more expensive[they come up quite often here for around $700-800 used.]
