Just took delivery of a Lodestar. When the c-mount adapter from QSI arrives I can ditch the guidescope and use the OAG on the camera.

Ran a few images last night - still eggy stars even though I tightened up everything and removed the rotator. Is it collimation? Something else?

Interestingly, I watched the guider relay indicator in Bisque TCS - they flashed when the autoguider was calibrating but not when imaging. I assume this is because the guide signal is so brief. Not sure if this is relevant.
