Auto-Guider / Planet Camera

Posted By Russell Sipe

I am putting together a new system from the ground up. I am looking at both the new SBI Auto-guider/Planet Camera and the Starlight Express Lodestar. I am hoping to get some opinions on these two products.

Also, I know the advantage of a mono ccd for going deep in the sky, but what wouild be the advantage of a mono camera over a color camera for auto-guiding and planetary work? SBIG offers color or mono at the same price.

Thanks in advance for any comments
