Hi,

Is there a sweet spot or optimum range for image scales in a guiding system that provide the best autoguiding?
eg. many use the finder guider where at a 200mm FL and a camera like the qhy5, the image scale is 5.4 odd arcsec/pixel.
would it be beneficial to use a longer FL guidescope with the same camera and if so are there any guidelines or numbers that help determine the optimum guidescope FL?
