Autoguiding

Hi all

I would like some comments on an autoguiding solution. I already have an ST-4 but find that it is very cumbersome to use, the head is heavy and the cable is thick and relatively inflexable, it also adds a fair bit of weight to the imaging system. What I am looking to is use a more user friendly system, along the lines of, say, Meade LPI or Celestron Neximage or similar using GuideDog with Shoestring adapter or similar software.

Could someone out there give me some advice/pitfalls etc of going in this direction or should I stick with the ST-4. It will be used with a Losmandy G-11/ Gemini and a Canon 350D.

Thanks in advance

JohnG
