While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Does anyone have any recommendations for an off axis guider to use with
a 10" LX200 w/field de-rotator? I've been looking at the Taurus T3 for
use with an SLR. Any good? Van Slyke? I already have the Wedge, Giant
Easy Guider, 216XT, Nikon FE2, etc. I just want the ability for a
quicker setup without polar alignment, as an option. I have a hip
injury that makes lifting the OTA with the wedge and leaning over for
long periods to do polar alignment impossible at this time. A quick
Alt/Az setup and using the de-rotator is a possible option.

Thanks,
Steve Mulcahey
