I wouldn't recommend using a goto synscan dob for DSO astrophotography
I have a 12' goto dob which is unbelievable for visual but for astrophotography the moon and maybe larger planets are about your limit ( up to 15 or 20 sec exposures )
I also have an 8" f5 Newtonian reflector for astrophotography which sits on a new EQ6-R mount and is fantastic for all types of imaging , Planetary and DSO
However my EQ6-R mount is at its limit with this 8" scope and all the other ancillary gear imaging outdoors
I would not consider sitting a 10" f5 OTA on this mount if you want + 5 minute quality subs in various conditions outdoors. Maybe ok in an observatory out of the wind
The 10" and 12" f4 and f5 OTA's ( +18KG ) would be more suited for a larger capacity mount like an EQ8-R Pro or similar
My 2 cents.............
