I agree with Gary, I was ready to jump on one in a few months time.. I might just stick with what I've got.. .If it ain't broke, don't fix it I guess..

Your result looks good though Mark...

I don't find OAG's at all difficult to use if you plan your image using planetarium software with field of view indicators... It will show you your imaging FOV with the guider FOV offset at the right distance etc.. I use Starry nights... Works a treat, and gives me a very good idea of where to find guide stars with my setup - see the attached images.
