I have used the Orion Start Shooter and now have the Star Shooter Pro. Both highly recommended (ZWO also have a guider with similar specs to the Star Shooter Pro).

I would recommend you shoot initially using a lower FL scope such as the ED80 with 600mm FL. Your 1100 will have a FL of 2800mm, which will only frustrate you with blurred image unless you have everything spot on (focus, tracking etc). In any case, shooting at that FL will probably best done using an off axis guider.
My suggestion is for you to get the 50mm guidescope kit and pair it with an ED80 to begin with and then move up the FL once you are getting some results and confidence.
