Looking to upgrade my guide scope for little money ( hopefully lol)

[Wirral man]

Hi all spent a lot this year on my rig and very happy with what I have now my setup is heq5 pro ( is it worth fitting the belt drive?), skywatcher evostar 80 ed pro, asi1600 mono cooled with zwo filter wheel loaded with lrgb and ha7 oii sii running eqmod for control now I use asi 120 for guiding,

but this is the week point I'm using my finder scope 9x50 with this asi120 and I have modded it with locking screws in triangular positions and use the correct adapter but it still moves around so I'd like to go for something a little more sturdy and adjustable with out spending a fortune as this year has wiped me out so please share your wisdom and thanks in advance..

I bought a qhyfnderscope  but to be honest  I used a 25mm cctv lens  £5 eBay and PhD seems to work fine using qhy5l-11  , my Eq6 is currently with RVO  for belt mod and service

apart from the fancy shmancy asi1600 i have the same setup. dont find too much movement but it does make me wonder sometimes with phd. my plan is an ST80 with my asi120 and mount it on top of the ed80, bolted down and should be solid.
