Celestron NexGuide

Hi All,

Long time since my last post here... I've been practicing

Like many of you I do use PHD for guiding.
However, I was looking for a standalone auto-guiding device and despite of almost no reviews over internet, I've decided to purchase a Celestron Nexguide and test on my own how these gadgets perform in the field.

The following is a 10 minutes/ISO 800 taken with a Canon 1000D, C9.25 on a CGEM (NextGuide attached to the Orion 80 short tube)
No drift alignment, just the basic 2 stars + 2 calibration. The picture is not perfectly in focus, I was only looking to see how it guides.
