if you plan on doing a bit of observing through the scope as well as imaging this might be worth considering
https://www.bintelshop.com.au/Product.aspx?ID=7379
it will give pretty close to the same fov as an ed80 but being 6" it will also allow you to 'see' a lot more, certainly a very nice ota to look through especially with my 24mm Panoptic.

if you were going to purchase this ota i'd ask if bintel could fit 10:1 low profile focuser for you which will definately make it a lot easier for imaging.

its also probably worth mentioning that once you get started you will almost definitely want a coma corrector like the MPCC/Paracorr. and for what its worth i will be using a MPCC as its a lot cheaper than the Paracorr and doesn't affect the focal length.
