Synguider with G11

[adman]

can anyone see any issues with using one of these (http://www.myastroshop.com.au/products/details.asp?id=MAS-025D) with a G11?

I don't have the G11 yet - but its coming....one day:D

specifically - I would like to know whether the digital drive control box has the correct guide port (I assume it is the same as the EQ5/6 etc).

I also remember reading somewhere about needing optocouplers to isolate different components - is this something I need to worry about with a guide camera,

Thanks in advance

It should work a treat Adam. While not the same screen, I have the TV Guider which looks to be almost like the beta version. It plugs straight into the hand controller port and guides like a dream. The digital drive doesn't have a dedicated guider port but both the TV Guider and GPUSB work without a problem. Just remember to set the slew rate to 0.3 or 0.5, no more than 2X sideral.

If your in doubt give Steve Massey a call and ask him.

Thanks for that Paul. I have been looking at the LVI version 2 as well. There's a lot to like about that for $599

I'm wrapped in my TV Guider Adam. Its great for when there is no AC
