Orion Mini 50mm Guide Scope and StarShoot AutoGuider
Your Mini-50mm guide scope has been a fantastic addition to my imaging setup. Its light weight and compact size has allowed me to dynamically balance my Newtonian Astrograph (normally a challenge) and achieve almost perfect guiding. And, I have never yet failed find a guide-star when using the Mini 50mm Guide Scope and SSAG combination.
