I was using an ETX125 with a wedge until recently, we made a strap that wrapped around the tube for piggybacking a DSLR. Your alignment is critical, but on a good night I could go 4mins at 100mm unguided. Good enough for a pic in last years compendium.
This is a great FOV for some of the larger DSO like LMC, SMC, Eta Carinae, and sectional views within the Milky Way.
