The MGEN guider arrived today and I used it tonight. Having never done any guiding before I had to read the quick start guide but it was fairly easy to use. It controlled the AVX well giving round stars in my esprit 80 with exposures up to 4 minutes. It seemed to be making adjustments constantly on either axis judging by the flashing LED's.
I also used the MGEN hand control to operate the 600D, setting it to take sequences of exposures of different lengths while I went inside and warmed up.
Nice little gadget and a good way to learn another increment in imaging without risking getting overwhelmed and discouraged.
Here's a 2 minute exposure at ISO 800 through the 600d using a 50mm finderscope for the guide camera.
