At a minimum, rather than an ST80 as a guide scope, you might want to consider a 66mm Williams Optics or Astro Tech APO refractor. With a focal reducer/flattener you would have a 320mm f/4.8 imaging scope as well as a 712mm refractor.




A 66mm WO or Astro-Tech scope without the reducer is 400mm...
