I use a NexImage 5 planetary cam or Orion SS G3 as my guider (the latter is my basic mono CDD imager, I use it as a good AG when imaging with my DSLR). Guidescope is either my ED80T CF (when imaging with the C8), or my SW120 achro (when imaging with the ED80T). But most people go for a dedicated 80 mm achro guidescope.

Thanks Barry
I think What I will do is stick to un guided at first, purely from a cost perspective, and if I find I end up desiring an autoguided setup I can always invest in a dedicated guidescope then
. Because sounds like we are talking $2K plus to autoguide, way blowing the budget (which ive already blown lol).
I think with 1 minute of unguided accuracy I should be fine, and I dont think planets will be an issue because frames which drift could simply be discarded anyway.
