Hi Mark,

You are absolutely correct.

That guidescope package from Bintel has a 80mm guide scope and the Orion Starshoot Autoguider as two seperate pieces, you just buy it is a package.

You then need an imaging scope with a camera on it, in my case I have an 8" F4 Newtonian with a Canon DSLR, but there are many other combinations of scope and camera depending on how much you want to pay.

You also need some HW to balance one on the other on top of you mount, plus some cables to link all the pieces together.
