Ryan, my guiding setup is the same as I've been using for the refractors, a 50mm guidescope connected to the MGEN stand alone guider.
For a first go it worked reasonably well with the SCT though I'll need to fine tune a few things, such as worm mesh on the mount and balance in both axes (eg. stay east heavy so the worm is always pushing the ring gear).
I did fine tune PA this time. The Edge SCT has mirror locks and they seemed to work well enough. I see Off Axis Guiding recommended for SCT's but I'm hoping not to go there and just use the same guiding setup for various scopes.
