.... In short SBIG's system integration is in my opinion, the best available.
I must admit STX secondary systems have been slow to come to market, but am confident differential guiding etc. will pave the way for some very impressive images in the not too distant future. |
I must admit I'd love it if my FLI had self guiding sometimes. It is extremely convenient. I did like the fact the STL was so self contained.
I'd like to see more of those features in the STX. But aren't they not needed though if you are using a MMOAG and are useful if you are using a guide scope? (which you sometimes use even if you have a MMOAG like me - CDK reducer does not allow enough backfocus for a MMOAG).
