Hi

I use a G-11 with Gemini, Tak FS-102 as the imager scope and an ED-80 as the guidescope, I use an ST-4 as the autoguider.

As Paul say's, try to keep your guiding corrections around 1 to 2 seconds or you will definitely be chasing your tail. The more accurate you setup your scope the better, do a serious Drift Align as the less corrections the autoguider has to make the better. Have a few practice goes first.

MOST IMPORTANT: Make sure you put the Gemini into Photo or All Speeds Mode, it won't track if you don't.

Cheers
