The ED80 is a fine scope, am very happy with mine but it has its lmitations. 80.mm of aperture is not enough light gathering for some objects unless you want to image the same one for several nights. I would recommend the 100 ED, which along with a dedicated reducer / flattener taking down to f7.6 is fast enough for imaging and at f9 ,900mm is ok for planets and the moon as well.
The 120mm would be even better but the extra weight means a beefier mount, an HEQ5 at a minimum.
