That's why I bought the Mak 180 (f15), planetary and small targets. I use the 120mc for guiding through an 80F5 but it goes on the Mak for planetary, lunar and I guess comets. DSO's the 1600mm-c is on the Lunt (F7) for nebulae etc but it can also go on the Mak for small targets. Easier than having Barlows involved I reckon.
Just tossing up whether to get a cheap mono for guiding and have the 120 and 1600 just swapping scopes as required. What's the QHY5 like for guiding ? There's one in the for sale lists.
