Thx for the tips Merlin. Yes, $$ I have to consider carefully. I did see the LPI as a cheap alternative, but wasn't sure of its usefulness as a guidecam. Will check out the DSI as well. DMK would be great if I can get my hands on a cheap one.

The DMK in my opinion is overkill as a guide camera; great for planetary and solar imaging!
The older DSI models are still favoured for guiding and can be found cheaply on buy&sell forums.
