I use a qhy8 and it's a very good place to start imaging with, I am currently going to replace the front filter which is very reflective, but is only noticeable on stars brighter than mag 5.

Scott.... Tornado 33 Uses an off axis guider setup and actually manually guides .... As good as an auto guider, I still prefer a separate guidescope myself. As it's easier to find a guidestar, but there are some available, i think Marco.... Multiweb has one on his setup too, more of an adaptive optics design though, there are no doubt others around.

Sounds like you have some nice gear, the self guided camera would be lovely.... But it ain't cheap.... Sbig do the in camera version, and another company has one with a port on the top to atatch a guide camera.
