Hi Warrick
I have just modded my 12" Newtonian by cutting 5cm off and moving the mirror up the tube.
Not as scary as you may believe. I think you will get a deep sense of satisfaction when all is done and your DSLR gets focus.
Read the article by Alchemy in the article section first and apply the measuring up procedure to see how much needs to cut off.
Good Luck and be strong especially when wielding the angle grinder.
Regards
Steve
