buts and pieces advice
for my two pence! If you are imaging at shorter focal lengths with the ed80 then you could consider a modified finder as a guide scope- there are details around the net and on here where folks have converted a cheap finderscope and guided with either a Starshoot guider or a webcam. Bintel sells the whole pre modified package too.
I like mine and it keeps the weight down.
Not sure about the focal reducer.
Focus mods to the ED 80 to make it more sturdy are also on line, but you might eventually end up getting a Moonlite so you can operate by hand box or by laptop.
There are threads here on IIS about making your own dew heater bands.
cheers
