[APML] Need advice on G-11 components....



Just got the go-ahead from SWMBO to get a new mount (yeah!) and I need some advise as to the components I'll need for a Losmandy G11.  Not gonna be able to swing the Gemini system right now, so it'll be the original stepper-motor version.
 
I have a Vixen R200SS 8" f/4 reflector and a StellarVue 80mm f/6 refractor.  Would like to piggy-back the 80mm on the larger scope so I can guide through one whilst imaging through the other.  Will be doing mainly 35mm work with some webcam stuff.  I know an 80mm f/6 isn't the greatest to use as a guide scope, but I'll be pressing my luck getting "ANOTHER telescope ?!?!?!"
 
 
I know I need the basic G-11 head and tripod, and a universal plate to mount the Vixen rings to.  I'd assume another DUP plate and a pair of guidescope rings as well.  Any other parts you all can suggest?
 
 
Thanks!
