Hi all,
I've been around astronomy for a long time but since I have never been imaging, I have tended to ignore the topic of autoguiders... but now I need to learn!
I have a mount that has an autoguider input (CGEM). I also have a cheap 80mm refractor (not piggyback mount yet - but I can buy one if needed). I also have a Phillips 880 webcam with 1.25" adapter.
Can I use the webcam to autoguide? Should I use the webcam to autoguide? Is it adviseable to use the webcam to autoguide?
Should I be looking at an off the shelf autoguider? (Like the Orion autoguider/scope package)
How do you use the thing once you have it?
Well, that's heaps of questions!! Hope someone can help me out a bit here!!
