Hi again,
I am in the market for a guidescope to mount on my 115mm William Optics clone refractor which uses the WO mounting rings (see www.williamoptics.com)I hope to put a sbig or neximager on the guidescope for long guided exposures. Just now, I came across this in the Shop and Swap
guidescope link
Would this be a good start to stable guiding? Can someone suggest an alternative, if not?
thx,
Paul

Something like an 80mm f/11 refractor would work better...
To make finding a guide-star easier I purchased a 100mm f/10 celestron achromat to guide with.

Hi Stars,
Thanks and I will look into that. I have an 80mm Celestron refractor (achromat), but I dont know the F ratio.
