I have not been doing any astro photography for some time and have not kept up to date with available gear here or elsewhere.
I need a auto guide set up before I can set up again.
The system I was in the process of setting up never did work and the guide cameras had pixels that would doom any result if all the other problems were resolved...at that stage events took me away from astro photography ..but now in an effort to start again I figure to simply scrap the two old meade cameras with the unwanted pixels and start again...fresh.
When Bintels site was posted in general chat I took a look and noticed a auto guider titled " skywatcher synguider"
( http://www.bintel.com.au/Astrophotography/Autoguiders/Skywatcher--br-SynGuider/777/productview.aspx. )
I have an eq6 mount and the idea of a guider not connected to a lap top is just what I need. Scopes to be guided max fl 800mm (or amybe one of those meade triplets if they are worht having) and I wonder are these items useful are there any outstanding negative features perhaps.
The other set up with the guide scope and rings also seemed ok but it needs a lap top.
