Hi all, just wondering if anyone is using the orion autoguider with their setup? If you are, how are you liking it and how well and accurate is it doing?

I've owned it for a while with PHD guiding and am quite happy with it. I've had no problem on long exposure guiding.

I have been using one for about 8 mo. Never a problem. I worked just as it is supposed to right out of the box. I have always had an acceptable guide star at the shortest exposure (0.2 sec), however I usually guide at 0.5 sec. Always nice round stars. I switch between using a Vixen ED80SF and the Meade 10in. LX200 it is piggybacked on.
