If you run a high quality guide camera, for example SX Lodestar and what im using at the moment is a SBIG 402-me, I haven't had a issue with finding a guide star yet. If worse comes to worse run it at bin 2x2.
No worries there I use an SXV-H9 and it is excellent, very small and compact.

And yes I have only just finished it mid last month, but I am convinced that it works as described and kills all flexure which big newts are renowned for. The thing that will make it hard for you is the back focus from the whynn corrector and fitting everything in between that and the sensor.
Yes but I thiiiink I can squeeze one in...?

I'm going to try stiffening up my guide scope first..then, we'll see

Even consitent 10min with 12" at F3.8 would go very deep
