re SSAG
Yes,its all plugged in from the start.
I am using a 200 mm guide scope,this is much shorter than the usual 500-600mm scopes used by most people on these pages using SSAG.
I had a quick chat,with two advanced astronomers today,it appears such a short focal length gives a very diluted magnification,and any movements are harder for instrument to pick up,one suggestion a barlow.
Also,its been pointed out to me,there is a setting,in the 'brain' of SSAG,that has something about focal length.Given that most here use longer focal length scopes with their SSAG,this would seldom be an issue.
The scope I am using is a small BORG 50 mm scope made to take AG's,its only the size of a finder scope.
Is anyone here using a home made 'finder guider' or similar scope.for AG-does this issue look like it could be solved with a minimum of fuss.
Thank-Chris
