Sbig STV- Deluxe Review

Does anyone have experience with this ccd and video cam outfit. What are its best uses and what are its weak points? I have a long focal length scope and thinking about
geting into ccd but the video side also appeals to me. Mostly I want to use it for planetary imaging. Basicaly
my question is.. How will the STV-Deluxe be for use with
my new 7" Meade Mak-cass? I have read Ron's book but am still unsure about what system to go with.

Sincerely,

John Neyland Jr.

The STV is the best autoguider on this planet. I use one with my AP 1200 GTO. Takes a couple of minutes to calibrate,
go to the objest, then just press the track button for superb long exposure tracking.
