I have an ED80 so I'll answer what I can and let other more experienced users fill in the blanks.

in this regard? Do i need separate guide scope??
Marks on the ground for tripod legs always help. Or maybe get a pier done with a notch to south. I wouldn't recommend OAG on an ED80. Would be a bit heavy onthe focuser. It's a light scope. Finder's fine. No flexure there.

Yes the ED80 is a fine scope. You might want to look into a WO FF type IV to get a perfect field for astro photo.
