I have had a tried and proven W/O FLT110 and a W/O 70mm as a guide scope so am really jumping in about half way between the deep and shallow end of the pool.

The guide camera works really well. I am using it at f8 and get guide stars all the time. It is the same sensor as in the ST-i. Very sensitive. Don't be afraid to use lomg guide exposures once you have the mount setup nicely. I pretty much guide between 5 and 10 seconds.
