I may be wrong in the above, I guess time and use will tell.

Mike, I'm sure that after using the ONAG you will change your opinion about the stage. Even with the Lodestar or ST-i chip size there are absolutely some targets where you need to move the stage to find stars to guide on. And, of course, this problem gets bigger the longer the focal length. What I really want is a motorized stage so that hunting stars can be automated or at least remotely controled.
