It's good to know that when I'm ready to upgrade, I can probably further compact my imaging equipment. The NexGuide should take me through the next few years. Being an old-school imager with lots of time spent at the guiding eyepiece, listening to WWV tick away the minutes, I am always amazed at how easy the technology has made it these days.

That may be the case with the NexGuide - it probably depends on the sensitivity of the guide chip and the accuracy of the guiding software. I have never had a problem finding a guide star using the Starlight Xpress Lodestar at 50 mm f/5 but it is a fairly sensitive camera.
