Ps - Your 5000 series APO gives you the same FL as my TMB, What guide cam are you using? With my QHY5 I've never had a problem finding guide stars... Previously I used a WO ZS70ED as a guide scope, and it did work exceptionally well, I had it hard mounted with no adjustable rings etc and the guiding was always flawless, but I really do prefer the OAG setup.. Portability is no big deal to me... I used to rock around with an EQ6, C11, 102mm APO, and about 30 other odds and ends to make it all work and never complained about it... This setup is a dream.. I can pick up my mount with counterweights, telescope and camera attached and move it should I need too...
