EON120 Users…Guide & Finder Scope Mounting & Aligning:

EON120 Users…Guide & Finder Scope Mounting & Aligning:

In reference to the EON120ED scope and guiding for photography work…I was wondering what would make a good guide scope for it & how to mount & align it?

First I thinking about the StellarVue 10X60 Deluxe finder scope, but then thought for the price I could get a short focal achromatic refractor and somehow mount that on the EON120ED. I just want to be sure the It can be done is all & how?

I was actually thinking of the
Skywatcher achro 80X400 or even the 120X500……(Of course I will be using a solid mount for all this gear)

Also, is there a way to align a guide scope so that it is also tracking the same object you’re photographing, much like a finder scope?

Plus…when using a guide scope, what equipment do I purchase so that I can see the cross hairs at night & what are your preferences for a red dot finder that may fit on the side of the EON in the dove tail slot?

I thank you now for any advice you can give
Cheers
Dave
