I am trying to reduce the overall complexity of my imaging set up and would
like to eliminate my 70mm guide scope and any induced flexure. I am
currently shooting through an 80mm ED scope and 8" f/4 scope and using a
second scope for guiding with an Orion AutoGuider. I am concerned with
flexure in my setup. The last time I used an off-axis guider was with my
Meade LX200. I found it impossible to guide because my guide start looked
like 'seagulls' and were hard to locate.
Would it be worthwhile to try off-axis guiders again? Would I be able to
get enough light from the pick-off prism to guide off of? If so; what
off-axis guider should I try?
