Hi Monti: Sorry I can't be of very specific help, but I used to guide with a 75mm Skywatcher (no barlow) and a Neximage, using Metaguide, and it worked fine....
I don't have any direct experience with the setup you are planning, but i can make a couple of observations. I have a 173mm f5.7 newtonian that i guide with...
Hi Leonard, Well I do have a Celestron Radial Guider, so off-axis guiding is also an option. I tried using it manually some time back before understanding...
Hi Stephen, Thanks for the comments. That is also what I fear might happen: the 8X50 guidescope and 2X barlow would give a big dim star in the NI, not very...
Hi Monti: From what I've read of other peoples' experiences with OAGs, the focus can sometimes be finicky. Some folks have had to shorten the off-axis tubes by...
... The Celestron Radial Guider is designed to be used with a t-mount adapter and a 35 mm camera. This puts the focal plane of the 35 mm camera 55 mm from the...

I don't know. I'm the one with the Celestron Radial Guider. I don't have the others. You can download the instruction manual for the Orion off-axis guider...
Hi, Yesterday, I installed the Celestron Radial Guider that I have had for a couple of years (I actually used it only once, trying to manually guide during a...
Monti: Let us know how it turns out. I'm especially interested in what you think of the Celestron OAG since, as I said, I'm trying to make up my mind which OAG...

Thanks for your help, Leonard! I did read the Astrobond doc before posting here, but found the author's explainations somewhat difficult to follow. That's the...
Does anyone here use AviRAW? I have my NexImage camera modified for Color RAW Mode, and would like to know the steps involved for processing color AVI files....
What is the best way to clean my Neximage? I have spots on the imager that show up in the final picture. I have used two different barlows and 2 different...
When I found my spots wouldn't blow off any longer, I used a Q-tip very lightly dampened (not even wet enough to be called dampened but I couldn't think of any...
I bought my Neximage about 4 years ago and used it with my Celestron C90. I used it a few times but then I put it away and have not used it since. I just...
Chas, Did you ever get your Neximage to start working again? I'm also having a problem with a Neximage that no longer works. Do you have any tips for me on...
Hi It could be a focus issue. That the light is there suggests the cam is working. I find it easier to diagnose this sort of thing during daylight and trying...

Hi Bill, Thanks for the suggestions. I tried what you said concerning the shutter speed - no dice. Good try - any other suggestions? Thanks... -- Ed...
James, Thanks for the response. I'm doing what you suggested concerning the focal point and a daytime target, but I'm getting nothing but static. Even when I...
Last Wednesday, I took my newly modified NexImage camera out for a 'first light' test drive on Jupiter and Luna. I used the standard AMCap image capturing...
Hi Ed If you have a friend that can help out you could also try it in their scope. Has anything in your setup changed since the last time the neximage was...
Hi, I clean my Neximage the same way: first I blow it, then I rub with a dry Q-tip always in the same direction. The dark spots usually dissappear after doing...
