Agreed Fred, Its when you start using a 50mm finderscope as a guider getting 6 arcsec per pixel that long focal lengths become really difficult to guide. With the ST80 you'd have been looking at 3.3~ arcsec per pixel I would think (something around that figure) and stars would still be spread across a few pixels..
