What size guide scope?Posted By Brian Maynard |
The 201 is difficult at best to guide with. I've owned one. Get a used SBIG ST5 or 237 with their Efinder. Very small light weight guider that is good for imaging up to 2000mm.

What size guide scope?Posted By Brian Maynard |
If you're a very patient man you may get some good results. For me, thumbing through the manual trying to figure out what all the numbers mean and getting the timing right for the "short, medium and long" presses
was a bit of a challenge.
A couple of things that may help your success in case you didn't know.
1. Whatever guide scope you use, a 9mm eyepiece is very close to being parfocal with the pictor.
2. Be sure you enable the "SC" for Seeing Conditions. Other wise the pictor will try to case star movement caused by turbulent skies.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing some images.

DSO cameras?Posted By Brian Maynard |
It's just like anything else Paul. You look for features that you like. I can't say one camera is better than the other because they all have pros and cons. Some people like SBIGS on board guide chip and some like SXV low noise features and some prefer Triffids -50 degree cooling. Find a camera that matches your budget, scope and sky conditions and you'll enjoy it. I promise!

I love the images your AP puts out. Hows the Mak coming along. I read earlier you sent it away for some repair.
