Can something like a 300mm Dob be used successfully with a camera as I feel that photos would be a must in this game? I thought the electric type go-to ones would produce the best platform for photography work.

Aah, now you've opened up Pandoras Box. If astrophotography is one of your aims, then a decent OTA (an 8 inch SCT would be OK Still) and an equatorial mount (with tracking & GoTo) would be a better initial purchase. A 300mm Dob is not something that is easily transported in an aircraft. I have an LX90 now, but if I had the opportunity to go back and buy again I would probably go for a Celestron 9.25 and Losmandy G11 mount.
