Thanks guys, that's really good info.

- I checked out that guidecam, looks good. What do you think will be the limiting magnitude that it will guide at?
- What are your plans for your ST-4? Do you want me to make you an offer for it?

- Some very good points. I have a JMI NGT mount with a drive built by Losmandy providing an ST-4 guideport. When you dont use an ST-4 like guider you need relay adaptors, etc etc so it gets really complex. I guess that's another good point of the guider suggested by JohnG
- Mag 10 is what Meade list on their website as the limiting magnitude for the LPI in terms of guiding

I guess one of the biggest issues is the ability of the guider I get to guide on faint stars through the off axis guider and accuracy as I will be guiding at 1600mm (12.5" f/5)
