Hi Tony... if your dob is not a truss type you can use rings and the dovetail mounting plate for an 8" tube. If I correctly remember the basic EQ5 should be able to carry a max payload between 10 to 15kg. So it depends by the weight of the optical tube. However I'll not consider the EQ5 if your intentions are more than general view but, like someone else already mentioned, an HEQ5 or so.
