Hey Paulo,

I use the Taurus Tracker III. It's a great unit as it
allows you to focus the camera using a regular fully
illuminated EP, which retracts when you're ready to
start the exposure. There is also a separate guide
port for reticle EP's and autoguiders.

If you're considering the GEG, you need to check out
the Taurus. It's also expensive but very versatile.

Alan
