OK, I got the new guide camera installed and set up (ATIK Titan) with the 50mm Mini Borg. Then got the front counter weight system installed for DEC balance. Then shortened the cable holder, was a bit long, and angled it so the camera can fully rotate. Added a stand-off bracket for the red dot finder, so I can see it without hitting my head.

The image I posted was using this new configuration.

Also the M42 was my first taken with CCDAutoPilot doing the entire image including focusing for filters. WOW 8O that was really great, no problems and easy to setup with flawless plate solving and target acquisition. Best $100 I ever spent! 8)

Hi Nice set up. How do you like the X/Y device? I like the bracket you set up for wire management. Do you have the push pull focuser or the helical one. That camera look nice and light.
