Chuck, I'm more half-baked than seasoned. But I use PHD Guiding software with an Orion StarShoot autoguider hooked to an Orion ShortTube 80 mm guidescope; the guidescope is firmly attached to the top of my LX200GPS 12" by way of the rings you so kindly modified for me. Best wishes, Joe --- On Thu, 3/31/11, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:

I'm also guessing that Newtonian users don't have the back-focus to use the flip mirror.
Thanks!
