Agree with Greg on this I've seen a lot of people lately trying for galaxies with ED80's and wondering why they don't get the results.
I've even done it and learned fast that the LGP nor FOV is just not there on dim objects where you need to go 10 minute or longer with your subs.
I know with my RC that objects below 40 arc minutes fit nicely in the FOV and provide plenty of detail.
The ED80 is now reserved for those bigger brighter objects such as Eta and Andromeda (M31) which at 190 arc minutes and Vb 3.4, would suit it to a tee if I ever get to image it from a dark site
Nor are you crap with galaxies if the data is there a lot can be extracted via processing just takes time
