St-8300 oag

G'day all,

I recently purchased the ST-8300 OAG to help improve guiding, but I'm having some difficulty trying to set the thing up. Guide camera is a Starshoot autoguider and while it works fine with the 80mm guide scope I think it may not be sensitive enough for the OAG. There is absolutely no image at all so I can't adjust the prism for optimum. Prism is setup for a F10 system while my 9.25 is F6.3 so I know there is some fine adjustment required but I would have thought that even at F10 I would be able to see an image.

I'd like some advice on how best to set the system up. I'm guessing this is best done during daylight but not sure how to go about it.

Cheers

John
