Welcome Josh.......The problem I see....if you start looking at a 10" reflector on EQ mount you would atleast need a HEQ5 or EQ6 mount...to be satisfactory...any smaller mount would just be a waste of money and you will be dissapointed.
You say Astrophotography.....keep 1 thing in mind...the mount has to be very strong...a weak mount with a 10" reflector would look a lot worse then a 8" with a good solid mount....The Mount is the priority here....forget about the aperture for now....
BTW EQ6 mount on its own is over $1000 I think....
Maybe you should look at a 8" with EQ5 or wait and save for a HEQ5 or EQ6....
Just my opinion Josh from what I have learnt in my short time in this hobby but I have already asked the same question......
Good luck......
P.S....priority = Mount
