Mini guide scope & scope FL question

I'm just looking around for a guide scope and I see an Orion Mini 50mm set up. I'd be using it on an 8" SCT. The text for the guide scope says the following:

Quote:
Compact mini guide scope designed for use with astrophotography telescopes up to 1500mm focal length
Can anyone tell me what the FL of the main scope has to do with the ability of the guide scope to work correctly?

The 8" SCT has a 2032mm FL. How would that determine the usefulness of the guidescope?
