SBIG STi guide camera and lens mounting kit. I have the guide kit which I intend to use on my large CDK scope and I expect it to work well.
No need for a guide scope with that unit per the marketing and I am expecting it to work well.
I use a Vixen VMC95 scope for a guide scope for my TEC110 imaging scope. It works well. There can be flexure at some angles from the focuser mainly because the camera I use is so heavy not because the focuser is faulty. But it works plenty well and I get round stars routinely
in 10 minute exposures.
I really like this little SBIG STi guide camera. I highly recommend it.
Alternately if you are planning to buy a dedicated CCD camera for astrophotography the SBIG self guiding camera range or the QSI with built in filter wheel and off axis guider are hard to go past.
Greg.
