Hi there,
Quite a few astronomers on IIS are using the GSO RC 10" and I was wondering what path they have taken towards guiding. I'm hoping to figure out what the best option for guiding a 2000mm scope in a suburban area (I have a QHY9).
Reading other threads in IIS on a similar topic has confused me a bit since some people mention the differential flexure is a given and guide-scope guiding will not yield the results required. On a flip side however, I'm worried about the a guide cam in OAG configuration picking up suitable stars for a narrowfield scope.
So far I've managed to narrow down the following options:
1. TSRCFlat2 (field flattener) with TSOAG27 (OAG) and correct adaptors from Teleskop and hope it works for QHY5.

2. Get a SV80ST APO with feather touch focuser and hope the whole thing balances on a G11 and has limited differential flexure.
Obviously the second option is much more expensive but atleast I get a widefield grab and go scope out of it.
Happy for you to add your comments/views. And if possible your current setup so I can copy and paste!
