No problems chief,
I thought about the setup that i was going to go with for at least 6 - 8 months before i started looking at prices. originally i was going to go with the 200mm SW on the mount, but then thought otherwise.
the thing is like i have said in my other posts, astronomy in particular astrophotography is a treck, you can expect to be standing ontop of everest in a day.
the setup i have will be extremely versitile, sure its not Takahashi and sure its not mounted on a Losmundy Titan and sure it doesn't have a wizz bang Apogee or Cannon 5d.
though it is a good all rounder, once plonked on a eq6 this will give me the load capacity and reasonable accuracy needed as long as i make sure to learn the art of Collmination and Drift aligning, coupled with a decent guiding setup that side of it will take care of itself untill i have the money to upgrade.
The 10" will support a decent light grab so faint fuzzy's are capturable also using some nice power mates i can capture planatarys eg jupiter, saturn ect ect. but the 80mm ED guide scope can just as easily be transformed into the imaging scope with the 10" being the guide scope, allowing me to take awsome wide fields. and putting something as modest as a 350 D for 300 - 400 second hand will be fine for a learner like me untill i can get something alot more expensive.
So theres the thinkings and rational of a young fella that has talked to lots and lots of people about his hobby.! and guess what im still learning and will continue to learn for as long as i am alive.
