Thank you Alex.
That's a good idea. I wanted to try set up guiding without differential flexure aka adjustable rings....not that I've done guiding before, so far all unguided.
Thus I was looking at the WO rings and that
Hutech positioner (like the Orion one). But it was starting to get expensive considering my SPC900NC webcam may not be good enough as a guider cam.
What you have done is alot simpler & I can save on rings & thus buy the XY guider.
Thanks again
.
Edit:
I meant to say the Hutech XY positioner has 2 differing prices on their website,
here ($199USD) and
here ($215USD).
