Almost right. As I mentioned, if you are getting the EQ6, then you don't need a dob. You just need a reflector/newtonian scope (which are usually put on dobsonian mounts) or a refractor scope.
One progression might go like this:
- DSLR + Barndoor mount
- Upgrade DSLR
- Dobsonian - You can do some photography with this just not very long exposures.
- EQ6 - Put the telescope tube you got with your dob onto this mount.
