Paul, Cant find anything that will work and will fit with the LX200R..UNLESS YOU GO TO HUGE DOLLARS.

I honestly dont want to do real widefield anyway.

I think I will be able to make it work at F10 binned at 2x2.
giving me 1.5 arcsecond per pixel

I have tried the lumicon OAG used as a Focal reducer but the vignetting is huge and I think its that bad that it cuts out the internal guider chip.

Scott,

The internal guiding chip is so small and at F10 2500mm does not give my much of the sky to find a star...plus I cant get the ccdsoft program to write the correct histogram so all the guiding chip is doing is picking up hotpixels..I thought I had it sorted but it's not.

Regarding full spectrum...I imagine so....its just the monochrome chip using UV/IR blocking filter which is called Luminance..I hope that's right..someone can correct me.

Thanks guys.
