Hi,

I am buying a Sky-Watcher EQ-R Pro mount and Sky-Watcher 100 mm ED APO Esprit. I have two ZWO cameras: ASI290mm mini and ASI174 mm mini, and a Canon 6D Mark II DSLR. I need to mount these cameras for astrophotography.

I need recommendations about what 50-60 mm guidescope will work, mounting hardware for this, and what off axis guider, OAG and spacers, will work. The back focus distance from the telescope’s field flattener and camera sensor should be 63 mm.

Comments, suggestions?
