Off axis Guider: Atik or TS-OAG9?
I really want to go down the path of Off Axis guiding - Ive heard good reports from the Atik, but the slimline design of the TS unit is appealing. I plan on imaging with both my 12inch Meade (in the fullness of time, I will almost certainly need to update my mount for this) and WO refractor.
Given that I already have a SCT crayford focuser, Im worried that I wont have enough focus travel with the Atik unit. On the flip side, Ive heard the TS unit is tricky to adjust the guide position, due to its limited movement.
I plan on using one of the newer QHY5-II units as the guide camera.
