Ken I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding why you want a guidescope if you don't have any sort of fine control over your alt and az movement. Are you going to try to move your scope by hand while viewing through the guidescope while recording through your dob? If that's the case you're going to find it extremely difficult to keep the image your recording from "shuddering" while tracking by hand. Also if that's the case then you would be able to a better job "guiding" by hand by viewing the image on the computer screen and guiding from their. For planets that is. DSOs will be a real challenge
