I am in the market for a 80mm ED or similar scope. just tyre kicking, but I am 60 percent sure I want to get one soon. I need to set up the guide scope for my astrophoto system and this is one of the missing pieces (lol mick P has the other missing piece ;) ).

I also read somewhere that someone had a 120 x 600 skywatcher scope? Was that any good? :confuse3:

Please PM me with offers or ideas or contact me at work on dhough at ncc.nsw.gov.au or home h0ughyit at tpg.com.au . thanks :)

I think the 80ED will make a perfect guidescope Dave.
I use it as a main scope, as you know, and also plan to use it as a guide scope too.
The other I can think of is The Orion Express 80.

It's a rich field and although not an ED, it will give a great selection of guide stars in the FOV to use with the ST4.

Just an idea to think about.
