Hi Chris,

I use the Orion Mini Guider with a Lodestar and it works OK for me.

I'm imaging at 1000mm with 5 micron pixels. The Lodestar is 7 micron guiding at 160mm.

Just make sure its bolted down real tight and it will be fine.

I just have to be aware that a 1 pixel movement in the guide cam is equivalent to approx 5 pixel movement in the image cam.

Attached is a typical guide graph I get with a stock EQ6, this one was with clouds around so could have been better. I lost 7 subs to clouds.

Regards

Bill
