Meade ETX-60/70 - Finder/Guidescope
Thinking about buying a Meade ETX-60 or ETX-70 and removing the OTA to make a guidescope. I quite like the integrated flip mirror, but have a question...

Does anyone have experience with the flip mirror system? I think it would make an ideal finder for visual and then you can flip the mirror up with a guide camera out the back.

My main concerns are mirror flop while viewing versus what the camera would see for guilding (the idea is that I can see potential candidates for guiding prior to engaging PhD).


Thoughts?
OIC!
