Guiding camera

Well, I ordered a Meade DSI Pro from Anacortes yesterday. The cost was only $119 + $9 shipping, so quite a deal. I have heard that it makes a good guide camera.
My Pictor 201 is also a candidate for the guiding duties, but I thought I would get the DSI Pro while they are still available and give both a try.
Anyone here with experience with one or both cameras for this purpose?

You'll be better off with the DSI Pro (have one on order too), as the old Pictor cameras are well known for being VERY cumbersome to work with... 8)

Just my 2 pesos, spend them wisely... wink
