Not sure if the EQ5-GOTO is good enough, hopefully someone else can give you adivce there, however the Dobson GOTO isnt good for photography, the whole setup gives field rotation due to non-EQ mounting, and the motors arent tracking finely enough.

However, you could go for the HEQ-5 Syntrek for similar price and use your current 130eq as scope. THat will actually be a pretty darn good rig as the 650mm focal lenght will give you a very good framing for larger DSO's. http://www.firstlightoptics.com/skywatcher-mounts/skywatcher-heq5-syntrek.html

I agree,you have a good enough scope to start with and on an NEQ5 Pro SynTrek will be much better than a 200P EQ5 setup. You will have a mount you can build on that will be quite good enough for DSO imaging. As I said before the mount is paramount :D The most important part of an astro imaging kit.
