I'm having a look at standalone guiding for my wide field setup. I'll connect the guider outputs to the mount hand controller port (no guide port) - little bit of adaptation required.
What size lens (guide scope) should I use? I see others using ED80s, which is considerably bigger than my imaging setup. I have a 130mm prime lens with an M42 connector, that I can press into service as a guide scope? I understand that the guide scope will influence limiting magnitudes - no experience and seeking advice.
Looking at these for now? Decided not to pursue the SynGuider.
