Hi Rob,

We will have a very similar setup.

I will be using my DMK as a guide camera, PHD as guide software and a GPUSB from shoestring.

From what I understand the DMK would be a much better guide camera because of its ability to allow longer exposures to find faint guide stars.

Hope this helps.
