Guide a Large Newtonian Scope

didn't think of OAG, but it's a good idea. many thanks to all of you! -
Hi guys, I recently started astrophotography and bought the following gear: Skywatcher Quattro 250p Imaging Newtonian scope (254mm / 1000mm focal length) Altair Hypercam 183c color imaging camera Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 Pro Go to Mount QHY Polemaster polar align camera In order to focus on deep sky object, now is the time to buy a guiding package. However, at some point I might buy a small APO Refractor to have a smaller kit. So, I was wondering if it makes sense to use an APO 80mm refractor (or higher) as a guiding scope in order to limit my budget. Will a 80mm high quality refractor be that better for guiding compared to a simple 50mm guiding scope at 150$ ? Many thanks for sharing your views on this... CLear skies!
