Guidance on my second scope!

Hey guys!

Joined quite recently and I'm very impressed with this site!

Im only 15 and I have owned a 6inch reflector on a eq3 mount for quite a few years, recommend from my aunt in England at an observatory.
It hasnt been till recently that I have gained a huge urge to get into astronomy and learn more about space!

I have been looking at 10" dobs and they look great! However in the future id like to get into astrophotography and apparently dobs dont support this as well...

I was wondering if it were at all possible to get a dob scope onto an eq3 mount? And what sort of size dob it could handle?
I would like to be able to observe deep space objects but planets as well though!
I live in a slighty light polluted area and I have around $1000 to spend.

Any replies or guidance will be greatly appreciated!
