Couple of thoughts...
You can do imaging with the 10 inch, the mount will carry it. The limiting factor will be the stability of the scope tube, however as a beginner you will have lots of room to improve before you get too picky.
Unguided shots on the brighter targets, m8, m45, eta carinae. Will produce pleasing results for your first efforts. Guiding will become the next hurdle, personally for biggish newts I think an off axis guider is the best cheap way to go.
IF you were starting out from scratch, I would go an ed80, the wider field is more forgiving, plus there's not much fussing around with a refractor.
For now, just jump in and have fun.
