Orion StarShoot AutoGuider & 50mm Guide Scope
I picked the autoguider & guidescope when I upgraded to the 8″ Schmidt Cassegrain telescope (SCT) in 2017. Guiding is essential for any long exposure photography, even more so with a longer focal length scope.
Although it’s served me well over the past 3 years, I plan on moving to off axis guiding sometime in 2020.
