Looks & sounds great Glen, glad you got the result you were hoping for.
When it comes to a piggyback scope, have a look at the 72ED from SW. I recently acquired one, primarily to use as an airline travel scope coupled with a CF photo tripod. It's small & lightweight which were it's prime attraction to me but, I'm gob smacked at it's performance visually. It punches way, way, way above it's weight... speaking of which, it weighs in at a lightweight 1.9kg
Like your 150ED, there is false colour when coming to focus but, when tightly focused on the moon, Jupiter, etc... you really, really have to go looking very hard to find any teeny weeny trace of it.
I've yet to test it out for imaging as a widefield scope but, if it performs as well imaging as it does visually then, my 80mm will be moving on.
Price point is good too, I picked one up on the forum for $400 in pretty much new condition... they retail for $699 currently.
