Damn, you guys are quick in sharing knowledge. I've never known of a faster response !
Well, looks like I might have to buy myself a solid tube Dob now, and if astrophotography really beckons, an EQ Go-To setup later.
Of the skywatcher mounts, what would constitute the minimum starting point for the 10" tube from the Dob for astrophotography? I would guess something like the HEQ5PRO, although I cringe at the near $1500 price point...
