I'm pretty sure most skywatcher newts can be used for imaging without any mods, but as Raymo said you will need a coma corrector. I use a 10" Skywatcher dob with tube rings fitted on a HEQ5 pro for imaging, the NEQ6 will handle the 10" no probs.

Make sure you get the counterweight extension bar, and you will only have to use the two supplied 5kg weights.

Another useful accessory is a 2 step ladder with hand rail, makes things a lot simpler when visually using a eq mount and newt combo.
