Mahalo, this makes a great deal of sense to me. -- Can't wait to start the season of astrophography. I am trying another tack this time. A guide scope proved just too darn heavy for my optics, so now I'll be using an off-axis guider. I got a Lumicon Giant Easy-Guider and it looks really good. I will use my Meade deep space imager as a guider, and my SBIG as the imager. What I should have done, of course, is buy the SBIG version that has two chips, one for guidance and the other for imaging. But I was cheap and I have paid for that through months of struggle. Here's hoping it works. Yokwe yuk, Joe
