Hello all,
Another newbie question.
I was looking into getting a guide camera to add to my setup.
My current rig is the celestron c925 with the asi 678 planetary camera.
Now with this combination, the FOV is so narrow i can't plate solve at all, fails every time, so I though to add a guide camera, which I can use to plate solve and to of course guide with.
From all the reading I have done, it would seem an oag is the only way to go with my scope.
So would this work OK.
C925, 6.3 reducer, filter draw, zwo oag-l 178 mini guide camera and my 678, and of course any spacers required for the correct back focusing.
Down the track I would like to also add a cooled camera.
Am I on the right path, will this all work, or should I just leave it simple with the 678 and no reducer for planetary, and have another combination I can just swap out for DSO
Thank you
