Good choice H, its a reliable, proven, industry standard workhorse. IMO you should get the external SBIG guide cam with it for little extra cash for what it can do. As its cooled, its very low noise for long guide exposures (or just less noise for the usual 2 secs), and as a result, critically, you can build a dark library for it which is subracted on every exposure (with DL anyway). Fussy yes, but a proper stacked dark makes all the difference, and also makes the (also cooled) internal guide chip very usable, on Lum anyway, which is where you want the tightest guiding. As far as I know, these features are unique to SBIG.
