Hi guys,

I'm considering buying a DSI II pro 2nd hand as an autoguider at the price range of $380ish, just asking around if anyone has had trouble with this setup before I commit.

I plan to use the Orion ED80 as an guidescope, DSI connected to vista laptop and PHD as the guiding software, and then onto an LXD75 mount with a SN8 (I know its pushing it for this mount but Im saving up for that later).

SO, is DSI a suitable autoguider, does it hav trouble with Vista, etc?

I can spend a bit more and get a new Orion Starshoot autoguider from bintel for $450, but is that worth it?

Thanks,
George
