Hi John

Be aware that you will find quite a bit of hot pixels/lines with the Lodestar since it is not cooled - anyway most of the guiding softwares do allow you to take darks which will give you a "clean" screen to work with and it is very sensitive, like what others have said you get a chance to pick out guide stars always

HTH
