Thanks Tony.
I first discovered the joy of nebula filter imaging when I tried my old 1.25 inch Lumicon Deep sky filter with my 10 inch and was astounded at the difference it made, so then bought the 2 inch UHCS.
I didnt know Sbig had such a guide camera out, I only though that had the horribly expensive STV, but its good they have the ST402me out now. Did you buy it from the SBig dealer here?
My mount doesnt have motorised dec or an autoguider port so its manual guiding for me. If it did, the St402me would go great as the off axis guider setup I have is a joy to use, always locating usable guidestars to visually guide from, so I imagine it would be easy for the guide camera to find usable stars.
I considered the Lumicon easy guider newtonian model, but it sounds like its a good thing I didnt get it. Is it too hard to find usable guide stars with your lumicon easy guider?
How do you find the Eq6 to use? Ive seen Houghys and it looks quite slick, though obviously the Losmandy rules.
Thanks.
Scott
