Re: Adding a guide scope to a Meade 10" LX90 SCT

A seperate guide scope won't work very well with SCTs. Differential flexure is the problem. The guide scope will keep the star centered on the guide chip, but the main scope optics will wander around on the order of many arc seconds, resulting in streaks instead of pinpoint stars.
