guide scope

Hi!
If you could afford a QSI you could get one with the OAG fitted.
Or an SBIG with integral guiding on the filter wheel?
Depends on the money for your new CCD.
I have been quite happy for about four or five years with the guide scope route- having all varieties and combinations in the past. But everybody seems to agree that to take that next step needs either OAG or self guiding.
I bought the SBIG STT with guiding filter wheel but it is a really heavy camera and have yet to get first light due to my new focuser being stuck at customs still!!
Anything that minimises flexion will help.
Have fun
Graham
