Currently it is being deburred, regreased and fixed up mechanically, then I get it!! the skyscan will be the next item!!!
I intend to mount the camera on one side and a guidescope the other (the skyscan has a autoguider port)

I don't know Louie, I do have a DSI (never used
) and a LPI, maybe I might have to see if there is something around to use that to guide with? or I get an old meade or SBIG autoguider? I would like to use what I have first though!
