Over the weekend I had a chance to use the TVGuider with my HEQ5-PRO mount to see exactly what this new guider is capable of. I let it have a go at eta carina in 8" scope with focal reducer and I was guiding with 70x500mm guidescope (Native ie NO barlow). I let it take a 5 min shot ie longer than the 4 min worm period of the mount. Photo says it all, very very smooth guider. Also guided well in other parts of the sky except I'm ashamed to say I forgot to check my focus as the night wore on and I have perfectly guided doughnuts. Homer Simpson would be delighted on several counts. If you need other info just ask
