correct, i have no passion to get into 'serious astrophotography' at any point, a few pics to play around with sure .. but again not serious.
my main goal is to hunt around and point to stars, planets and (dso's) with relative ease and considering the fact that i can't really afford another $1000 for a goto system ..
so in short and as i've probably already mentioned i'd love an 8-10" that is easy to use for a first-timer yet have enough grunt to last for years..

From my reading and understanding, if you are not absolutely set on getting into more serious astrophotography now, yes swapping your 8" on a GEM for a 10" on a dobsonion mount is a good idea.
