I'm looking at getting an OAG for my setup/s.
Reading/ looking at the posts on IIS, I cant seem to get a definitive answer.
So here are a couple of questions the community might/could help me in the right direction.....
1:Recommendation for an OAG for both my 80 SW and 254 SW. The 254 has a moonlight focuser.
2:What is more useful to use on the OAG? A webcam with PHD( or similar software) OR a dedicated guide cam such as QHY - Orion Starshoot autoguider
Or should I go for an Orion Starshoot solitaire?.
To be honest, I dont want to spend $700 ( + $ on the OAG) on the solitaire .
I still have training wheels attached to my scope!!!!
I have a webcam attached to a finderscope that works ok ish with PHD, but I can only get very bright stars to work.And even then not sure if its doing the right thing!
From reading the posts, I need some more inward travel when using OAG's, especially on newts ? .... ( guess that is a third question)
The reason for my questions is that I am into the astrophotography side of astronomy.
I realise there is a lot to it ,but I still have three training wheels.....
Slowly, But Surely each training wheel will come off one by one....in time.
