Well when I started out with imaging I purchased a ED80 and a EQ6 mount, the ED80 being a wide field scope tends to be much more forgiving (than say something with a much longer focal length), and its proven excellent for me to get into astro imaging. Together with this I use a trusty Canon 350D, which I plan to upgrade at a later stage, but the 350D keeping me quite busy at the moment as I learn the ropes.
I do have a GSO 10" Newtonian here too and once I have gained confidence (and the ability to autoguide... /sigh more $$$) I would like to attempt imaging through that, but I've been led to believe its a whole different ball game as its going to require moddifications to the primary mirror in order for the DSLR camera to reach focus.
I guess it also comes down to budget, do you have a DSLR at the moment?
