Hello,
I have an LX200GPS 8" F-10 EMC. I am wanting to shoot through it for deep sky astrophotography with film. I am also going to piggyback a StellarVue AT1010 on top of the LX200 with Losmandy accessories.I plan to manually guide through that for the time being. I will most likely want to step up my exposure times a little bit and I find that an autoguider may come in handy on the AT1010. I dont have very much money to spend, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for an autoguider that may work well. I was consitering a Meade Pictor 216XT, but I hear that the Pictor series are difficult and frustrating to use. Are there any suggestions? I am only 17, so there is not much money to spend and also not a whole lot of time outside during the school year, so I'm looking for an autoguider that is simple to use. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
Clear Skies,
Taylor Chonis
