Go the ACF 10" on the EQ6. Sounds good. You'll need an autoguider and a guidescope. A short tube ST80 for a couple of hundred bucks will do the trick.
Or, go the off-axis guider route. Bit finicky, but, gives results.
I used to image with an LX90 8" on a wedge, with an ED80 as a guidescope. Oh, the gear slippage! It was a right royal pain.
No doubt the 10"/12" gears would be more robust than the 8".
I do miss the aperture. Perhaps, one day...
But, for now, nothing beats my FSQ-106N for a pristine, flat field that completely illuminates a 35mm sensor. A joy to use.
