With the short focal length of the ED80 an OAG is not necessary and the Orion-Mini guide-scope would be OK and less trouble setting up.

Polemaster is probably overkill, as Sharpcap, PHD2 and the EQ6 firmware can now do the same thing (accurate polar alignment).

He will need a laptop or something like ASIair to capture/guide and store sub exposures.

EDIT: The ASI-294 with 4.63 micron pixels are fat compared to its other CMOS brothers.
