I hear what Lauren is saying, and that set up would be great for AP,
but as your only scope an 80mm APO falls woefully short in the
visual observing department.
High quality AP only comes with experience and much learning
of all facets of the subject, so I personally suggest that the SCT will
give great observing, and pretty good AP results, and further down
the track you can move to a refractor for AP if you yearn for the best
possible AP results.
