The CG5 would probably carry it (just) as long as you didn't want to do deepsky imaging through it, but you need to be aware that the standard 8 and 10" newts are smaller in diameter than the Dob tubes. A set of 10" standard rings (285mm) will not fit a 10" Dob (GS about 300mm+ diameter). And I believe they are also slightly lighter than a standard dob tube (though I can't remember where I came by that info and can not find it on the net. Maybe someone can weight on for me).
