Thanks Rod,
Yeh pretty happy with how it's all coming together and really it's just the guiding I need to improve for those not so bright areas hard to find guide stars.

Hi Bo,
The plan is to mount the ST80 piggy back on the ED80 to see how it goes, they are mounted on a Losmandy saddle plate and that seems very very solid and I think it will handle the load.

If I have problems I have considered a cross brace from the SCT to the ED80 with the ST80 mounted on the cross brace if you can visualize that.
As the budget is a bit tight I'm going to try it with one of my Tucams as the guide camera for a start and see how it goes before I lash out on a better guide camera.
I'll post some picies when I get it setup as the weather seems to be giving us plenty of time to play around with these improvements
