Hello,

 

Has anyone tried a PrimaLuce 60mm guide scope + ASI120mm guide cam combination? 

 

I have that and was surprised to have to add a 20mm spacer to get it into focus. I assumed the guidescope would be built for focus on common guide cams.

 

Also, no matter what, I can't get it into great focus. PHD2 star tools helps, but there's still halos, and my star's FWHD will be around 5-6 at best focus.

 

I'm curious if anyone else has this combo, and what your experience is. My guiding ends up being OK - but the poor focus occasionally causes issues with PHD2 guiding losing stars.
