If I could afford a 80 to 80 plus would be great ( just too much $$$) but I think 65 is perfect. Good entry level for wide field AP and I just hope keeps me going for a couple of yrs or more. If I do purchase and obviously depends on the mount I buy also.....I hope to get 2 to 5 min unguided exposures. If I want longer any thoughts on folks using guide scopes with small refractors like this?
I guess it comes down to which mount. Don't wanna break the bank but I don't wanna regret a going too cheap so if who knows I go for a more heavy duty APO which I understand can be quite heavy

The CEM-25 or HEQ5-Pro are the perfect match to the AT65EDQ. They are very affordable mounts and you can get a 2nd hand HEQ5 for ~$700, which is superb value I feel.
What people don't get about this scope is that you can have fast optics, corrected optics or affordability. Pick any two. This scope has moderate speed optics and nails the last two completely. It's good value for the images it produces.
