Hi Benno,
Forget the Bushnell as a scope to grow/develop with - no good in my opinion.
a 10" Dob is a fantastic visual scope - it will give you great views of deep sky objects but you wil have to push the scope around to observe the planets. high magnification can be telling on the Dob mount.
Astrophotography is an expensive hobby, believe everything advised - it all comes from experience!!
If your passion is photography, then start with a camera on a motorised equatorial mount to get a feel for what's involved.
If you bought a 10" Dob then wanted to get into Astrophotography, then as houghy said,you'll need a very sturdy mount (EQ6) to cope with it.
Often though, the best pix for a beginners are wide field shots that can be obtained with a 50mm lens on a camera mounted on a simple driven (motorised) mount. Check some of the pics from the link in my signature to see what I achieved with such a setup
All the best
Doug
