I currently have a Vixen VC200L with a GP mount with dual motors. Mount can hold about 10KG. Tube weighs 6KG and I have (its on the way for Xmas present to myself) a Nikon D750 which with the rings etc is about 1 kG(Just under) which leaves me 3 kg to play with at most.

I was looking at getting a ZWO ASI120MM camera and an 80 x 400mm or simlar scope. I know bintel do a package with this for $599.

My budget is around the 1000 dollar mark (I would really like it to be alot less ...)

Does anyone have any advice about this setup or an alternative guiding setup ?

Cheers

Seymore
If you are interested I have a 80 mm f5 skywatcher st and a qhy 5l ii that are not being used,. Both are in great shape and quite new. I could be convinced to part with them if you are interested
