I also have a York Optical ED80 and a WO Binoviewer, I just picked up a Neximage Imaging kit for $20 at a garage sale and it works, so I have something to learn some planetary imaging with, and have an old Canon 10D DSLR to have a go at DSO imaging. I also picked up a Celestron reducer recently from a member here.

If I can get the EQ6 and the required dovetails etc. then I'll look into an autoguider package and put a halt on spending for the next 12 months whilst I learn and have fun and frustration with it all.

I don't think I can afford to keep the C8 and the BD254 though, one would have to go to fund an autoguider package.
I have no missus, I'm a single dad, but funds are tight, so I'm trying to get into it all at a reasonable cost. My girls are right into astronomy, so it is important that they can enjoy it and learn as well, so optical viewing is also important.

Thanks for the advice.
