[LVAS] Guide Scope Suggestions?

[Shawn Mann]

Hi guys!

I am looking for a guide scope for my imaging setup, but am unsure what I
need to be looking for. Here is my setup:

Sky-Watcher Equinox 80  -  Imaging scope
Sky-Watcher EQ5 Pro Mount
Orion StarShoot AutoGuider Camera
Nikon D40

I have a Sky-Watcher Black Diamond ED100 that I was hoping I could guide
with, but combined with everything else I think it makes the setup too
heavy. So I am looking for a smaller, lighter scope to use, but I am unsure
what specifications to look for. Does anyone have a recommendation, or
suggestions on the sort of specs I should look for?

Thanks for the help!

Shawn
