Righto then. Thanks for the link David, that looks indeed like the way to go.

My proposed RC has the following specs:

• 3" Dual Speed Linear Crayford focuser with 2" and 1.25" fittings

• Two 2" focuser extension rings for fine-tuning the back focus

So perhaps an Orion Deluxe Off Axis Guider

Could you recommend any other OAG to go with the Lodestar? Oh, and I'm guessing the mono Lodestar is better than the CMOS version?

Should I get a focal reducer/field flattener with it too? How does this affect the operation of the telescope and results?

I'm sorry, I used to have some of this stuff on my old C11, but I never mastered it and I've pretty much forgotten everything about it.
