ZWO 174MM as guide cam?
So, after being out of action for exactly four months due to a never-ending stream of hardware issues, I finally got the Avalon Linear out tonight for a couple of hours before the clouds rolled in.
Only problem is, my QHY5L-IIM now appears to be bricked. Worked fine the last time I used it, but now the computer doesn't find it and the red LED doesn't light up. Tried on multiple computers, tried the same USB cable with other devices and they were all fine, so it looks like it's the camera that is busted.
I was thinking to get a ZWO 174MM as a guide cam eventually, but now it looks like it'll be happening sooner rather than later. Is anyone aware of a reason that I should not buy this?
I intend to use it on an OAG with a 12.5mm prism. The sensor looks highly efficient, large chip for a guide cam, fast download rates, seems like a winner...
