DJ, I used the Saxon ED80 with Focal Reducer on an EQ6 with Skyscan V2.5a, and Autoguided through a 100mm Achro richfield refractor.

The ED80 is an amazing little scope for Atrophotography

Probably. It seems to be OK for around a few seconds

Thanks Ric, I have tried to wring every bit out of it.

Sorry Gary, I'll probably use it for Autoguiding if it's up to the job.
