Astroman was correct about using a switch for the TVGuider to direct the video input from the imaging camera or the guiding camera to the screen in turn. I have been in contact with Martin Myslivec about this (as I was thinking of getting a second screen) but he has sent me a schematic for making such a cable and switch so that you take an image with guiding on. Then stop the guiding, flick the switch to the imaging camera input, check focus or composition then flick the switch back to the guiding camera and take another shot if needed. So much simpler for using the same screen and not having to grovel in the dirt to see the small 350D screen to check focus etc. If you would need the schematic then contact me privately with a PM and your email address. This really makes the TVGuider a great unit. I'll have it at Qld Astrofest if anyone is interested.
