Bottom line is astrophoto = good mount. If you get a decent mount that can handle weight you could mount an 8-10" DOB tube on it with rings. Then you got the DOB for visual use and the mount for both primefocus on the 8" tube or DSLR piggy back. That'd get you started.

Then you have two choices depending on what you like: sell the mount and get a bigger DOB or sell the DOB and get a refractor or other scope.
