It will try to take a dark automatically unless turned off. I do think the lodestar is quite sensitive. I don't know if more sensitive than the ST-i, however.

I think you would be fine with either camera, but the shutter on the ST-i is quite nice.

Thanks Peter. Can I use PHD guiding with either of these or is there software that comes with them for that? If so, is the software complicated?
