Peter, there's an article on this very topic in the edition of Astronomy Technology Today mag that was released today - if you have access to it. The writer puts a limit on the effectiveness of these converted finder/guidescopes - says they are OK for guiding scopes up to about 1500mm but not much beyond that. There were several threads on this topic in IIS also, a year or so back that you will surely find with a bit of searching.
