I'm just getting into astrophotography, and was looking at purchasing the
Orion Mini Autoguider Package to use for autoguiding, but found out that the mini guidescope isn't compatible with bracket included on my telescope (Explore Scientific ED80 refractor).
My question is, does anyone know if it can be attached to a mounting plate on top of the telescope tube rings, similar to how other guidescopes are, like in
this picture, or can it only be attached to a compatible bracket on the telescope?
