Hello, I'm new here so sorry in advance if I have made a silly mistake. I am looking into buying a ZWO 30 mm f/4 Mini Guide Scope for my 8SE. I will be doing some light astrophotography so I figured it would be good to have a guide scope/guide cam and a friend of mine uses this exact guide scope and loves it. Seeing as it was only $99, I put it on my telescope wish list. It had just occurred to me that this guide scope uses a different attachment method than the OTA of the 8SE. I am looking for an adapter but because I don't know what these attachment mechanisms are, I have no idea what to search for. Is there an adapter I could buy or a different guide scope that will fit my 8SE. Please keep in mind that my budget for this is $150 and I am not looking to take super long exposures. I have attached below what my guide scope mounting thing looks like on my OTA.
