From what I have read, it is quite reasonable to mount up to a 10" dob on an EQ5 mount. I suppose it has something to do with the stability-weight configuration.

Another option would be to pier mount the scope, I suppose this would be only useful from viewing in the one location.

I have the same problem with my 12" scope, but have a couple of garden chairs which are pretty comfortable and allow me to see into the eyepiece with very little contortionabilty.
