Ah! Thanks 1p, that clarified that issue for me.

So a SM40 on a 80mm won't really be much advantage (if any) over a PST (esp DS). Just can get higher mag but with an object this close and this huge that is a minor issue, I think.

Also is the visual image much dimmer with DS than single? Is it a bit too dim?

The shop I am ordering from suggested the 2nd filter won't help, due to dimmness, unless imaging - which I intemd to do anyway.

Also do you have a solution for the issue of using a cam in the PST (re: back focus)?
