Seems like that huh?..but the time will be easily taken up or exceded by trying to find a suitable guide star that still allows you to frame your image properly and/or can be seen through each filter! There are some objects that SBIG camera owners, without a guide scope, simply can't image becasue of this so they resort to getting a dedicated guide camera anyway. You will find most SBIG camera owners have or eventually get a guide scope and seperate guide camera anyway.
