Lumicon Giant off axis guider

[Striker]

I have heard some really good reports on this guider but have also heard some terrible reports about other off axis guiders in general.

I have my eye's on this one with the focal reducer.

It's my Birthday in a month so I can get something worth around $100.

So thats my choice...lol

There is no way the wife would believe this item is costing $650...so I am sweet.

??? I thought that is what the orion is for Tony, guiding??????

Thats what I thought but guiding at 2800mm is not easy with a ED80 in light polution.

Looking at options for my Observatory....just considering and I also like how this focal reducer works.

Here is another link for reference...interesting example to the 80mm focal reducer in built.

I've been using the Lumicon OAG on and off for the last 15 years. Great piece of work. No issues.
