Hi Peter,
well yes, there are some assumptions in what I said I suppose. The Lodestar IS sensitive, and yes it costs, but it is possibly the best. The DMK again it is not cheap, but has a dual role, lunar/planetary imaging.
Maybe try the DSI as the guide camera if you have another suitable for imaging.
I do have the 50mm in rings, but to be honest it is only until I find or fabricate a clamshell that will hold the lot onto the saddle.
My experience is echoed by many others, the DSBS isn't always the best system for getting away from flexure.
The picture attached may not show you as much as you need, and it is on the refurbished 10", but effectively is what I am using.
Sing out if you need more.
Gary
