Wanted: Guidescope
Hi guys,
I'm currently searching around for a guidescope to mount on top of my ED80 (imaging scope). I was hoping to get something like a 80mm f/5 refractor to use, however Bintel and Andrews are out of stock (and there is no date on the next batch of scopes, could be months). So I thought I would ask the community if anyone has somthing like this kicking around that they are not using?
Also, I plan to use a QHY5 as a guide camera. If I was to use a short focal length guidescope (such as a 80x400mm), would I require guide rings, or should I be ok with fixed rings? Due to the 1/2" chip and the short focal length, I believe I shouldnt have much trouble with having a guide star land in the field of view? Thoughts?
Michael
