So now I'm interested....

I bought an ED80 to use as a guidescope with my LXD75 but found its too heavy for the mount. (Should have been obvious really as the OTA is an 8 inch SN). But the ED 80 is a nice little unit (thanks Leon!) so I'm interested in using it for photography. So the Stellarvue will work with the ED80 - will it be too short for the LXD75?
