Hi, I too have the LX90 and guide with it very well, contrary to popular belief these fork mounted scopes will image very well on a wedge, but you MUST, and I can't stress this enought, balance it asdom on the two axis, with the tube horizontal to balance the equipment on the back, and with the mwade straight up to balance the piggybacked guide scope, so mexde in a proper meade balance kit. So, my question is simply are there any satisfied LX80 owners who have had success with AP?

So assuming you have set up the scope and done an align procedure, and you are pointing and tracking on a star, let's start guiding. However, the supplier doesn't decide the law even if they may pretend to do so or wish to do so.

I do have an HEQ5 Synscan Pro and for a while mounted the 8" OTA for imaging on that mount, but it really was not very successful as it was all a bit too heavy.
