That's the path I went down but it isn't as simple as just buying a GSO newt. He will need:
1. a better focuser with a QSI683wsg8 as this is a heavy camera (I've got the 683ws8)
2. a decent coma corrector - at least $300 worth I suspect
3. if it's f4 he'll need good collimation tools (Catseye)
He might need to reinforce the tube where the focuser attaches.
