With the Lodestar, will it work just as good on its own with PHD or does it work better with say the SXVR M25C (which I have on order from AEC). I've got my Starizona C14 Hyperstar (tapered model) up for grabs on Gumtree so if I can sell that off, it will pay for the Lodestar.
BTW, do you know of anyone who has used or is using, the SBIG guider? I know its expensive but SBIG never fault on their products. Will call you tonight.

Ah yes those were the days, falling asleep at the guider EP. Things have changed a lot in the interim. Say hello to Dave for me.
Do I know someone using an SBIG guider ? Yep me. I have two of them and each works really well and connects perfectly. It takes darks automatically and that improves its ability to pick a guide star.
I can't help with the loadstar but as I understand it they are very similar to the SBIG ST-I (almost carbon copies), based on what I have experienced with the SBIG I would say the Loadstar would be a good buy too.
Give me a call tonight.
