Good advice from Bo. As an imaging newb, I have just gone through figuring out the Orion SSAG Pro (this one

I tried the 50mm guidescope and found it a little frustrating, but that was probably just my own inexperience. Focal length will be a challenge, thats why most people (self included) start off with an ED80 or similar.
