Native
ED80 FL600 @F/7.5
ED120 FL 900 @F/7.5

With the 50mm Aperture
ED80 FL600 @F/12. with reducer F/10.2
ED120 FL 900 @F/18 with reducer F/15.3

Camera's will be a mix bag. ASI294, ASI462 or Nikon D600 (APS-C)
You might find 50mm a bit small?

It's quite easy to make full aperture or filter caps of any aperture really with cardboard that can slide over your telescope.
