Jarryd, the autoguider isn't for imaging.
All it does is shows stars and you select one of them in the view and the computer will stay exactly on that star by sending signals to your mount.
If the mount moves off the star by even a few pixels the autoguiding program corrects the mount to move back exactly onto the star again.
That way the image in your main camera doesn't have stars and nebulas moving around

The Bintel camera and scope together looks ok. The good thing with scopes for autoguiding is that they don't have to be of high quality.
