Derek,
Are you primarily interested in film photography or CCD imaging? Most people
seem to have more success using a seperate guide scope over an off-axis
guider though the ST-4 seems more successful at that then some other guiders
when used off-axis.
If youre looking at doing CCD work, you can quite possibly forget about
guiding and use the stacking method to build up your images.
Good luck
Mike
