I also have an ATIK LE4000 (same sensor) with a similar OAG/FW combo on another scope and it works the same.

Downside with the SXVR line of cameras is that you're wedded to the appropriate SX line of guide cameras like he Exview I use. I have a Losestar on the ATIK rig for that reason.

Cheers Pete, yes I have 79mm of back focus for the Wynn corrector so plenty of room, hence my thoughts of getting an SX again :-)

Still like to see your photos thogh, cheers

Mike
