How Dim a star can you guide on? Or what Guide Cams do folk recommend?

I think I am rapidly outgrowing my Meade DSI. Its hard to use on DIM stars - hard to focus and under PHD easily looses the star - even if I set the light gathering duration all the way up to 10 seconds.

In increasing order of expense - what guide cams would folk recommend and where is the sweet spot in folks opinion (how much to spend before it will work (on PHD or MaximDL on faint stars too)!

Many thanks,

Matthew
