Hi Colin,
I have done the same as peter_4059 by starting with the GSO 10" dob and 3 years later, buying an EQ6 mount. The tube can go on either the EQ mount or dob base. This does make a pretty large arrangement so you need to consider how you get the whole setup into place. In dob setup, you can easily wheel the whole setup into place on a red Super Cheap trolley. It gets trickier on the EQ mount, but perhaps that's for later anyway, considering the budget. I know some have mounted 12" tubes on these mounts but I find the 10" to be pretty hefty as it is. The 10" gives great aperture but leaves it more open to EQ mounting later, with tube rings being much more affordable (or at least this was true when I did it)
