I have been using a converted 8x50 finder, just the objective no eyepiece, so it is a great system to try.

Gary,

Thanks, heaps! That was the name I was trying to think of -- I had recommended him to other people in the past, and forgot about him myself, lol!

Thanks for the finderscope idea!

Didn't you already have a guidescope last time we met or am I mistaken?

Andrew,

Thanks, mate.

Last time we met, I still had the LX90. I sold that a while ago, now, so, just have the ED80. I was thinking of sticking with just what I have at the moment, as all my pennies will go towards a 5D Mark II. Trying to do things on the cheap, and, I'm happy to do wider field images. The only object I got to shoot through the ED80 was the Pleiades.

I've got an itch to get back into this hobby.

Thanks, guys!

Regards,
Humayun
