It's what I do.
I set up an NEQ6 for imaging, takes about 20 seconds to roll out, and lock down. Once I have acquired the target, focused, calibrated the auto-guider, and framed the subject, the dob/newt has cooled. I can then image while observing. Every now and then peek back at the screen to ensure all is well.
It to me maximizes the time spent.
My observing scope is either a 10" dob, or lately a 12.5" truss dob. Either will keep you happy. Low-tech star-hopping is fine, and if at a later stage you need more, slip an Argo Navis on. Perfect.
