Hello!
I'm looking into getting a guide scope setup for my C11 (CGEM DX) but I've read a lot of mixed reviews of various cameras / autoguiders.
Reviews on the NexGuide from Celestron aren't great, I also use my Mac to capture lightframes so being 'portable' and not having to use my notebook in the field isn't a problem. I'll probably use PHD (currently using Nebulosity)
- Although, the 80mm guidescope setup that comes with this package is probably suitable - with another camera.
I was told about the Orion Awesome Autoguide Package.

I've also read the Starshoot is a great guide camera.
Or there is the LVI autoguider?

If you have a C11 or similar, I'd love to hear what works for you (or what doesn't)
oh - and I assume a f/5 (80mm) is fine for guiding a f/10 (280mm) 2800mm focal length?
Advice (and any advice mounting it/working it) appreciated.
THANKS!
