I am new to astrophotography. Yesterday I used my 80mm ed as a guide scope (test) with PHD software and it worked perfectly. Next step is to add the guide scope to my 6" reflector with a Canon digital slr. My question is, would the Orion x-y guidestar finder (throw away adjustable rings) or the Orion off-axis guider (no guide scope needed) be useful and worth purchasing. I noticed that you need a somewhat bright guide star to be used with the Meade DSI 1 guide camera.
Thanks
