Autoguider options

[lodagoda (Khaled)]

Apologies if this was asked before.
I'm looking for an autoguider/camera option for celestron OAG and c925 edge on CGX mount.
I'm currently planning to use my DSLR for the capture.
And because I spent almost all my budget on the new telescope and mount, there isnt much left to choose a fancy/cooled one.
I was thinking of ZWO ASI 224MC that can work as planetary camera when autoguiding not required.
But I wasn't sure that it would be good fit with celestron OAG considering the limited signal it gets from that mirror.
Any other suggestions for an camera/autoguider?

I have a ZWO 290MM Mini that I used to guide on my C925 quite successfully, that was with an Orion thin OAG which I think has a smaller prism than the Celestron OAG. That is dearer than the 224 and monochrome, but it certainly worked for me as a guider, I never found a frame where I could not get a guide star.

I use a ZWO 120MM mini with my OAG on a RC10 with no problems.

Great, glad to know that it is doable without too much fiddling.
Thank you
