I notice you have the Baader 2" nose piece on yours- do have any issues finding a guide star?

Yep the AO cable to the camera then the FW cable to the AO.
Never had a problem with a guide star. On most targets I find at least one nice bright guide star at 0.2 or 0.3 sec exposures so I'm guiding at 3 or 4Hz. The worst I've had was 1 Hz, that was imaging M83, but that's on my TSA120 so not the biggest aperture.
Guiding used to be such a headache for me with a QHY5L-II on a finderguider and PHD. I use CCDSoft now and it's just calibrate then set-and-forget, the guide star barely twitches, and that's on an EQ6
