Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about autoguiders.
It seems I¡¯m so new to the whole thing I didn¡¯t even know the right questions to ask.? I¡¯ll do a little more research on exactly what I want to do and come back with my specs and a better idea of what I¡¯m looking for.

Thanks!

Hi Jeremy,
?
It's not that complicated.? The way the autoguiding apps work like the free standing PHD2 guiding or an integrated system like ASIAIR etc. require certain conditions to be met in order to work well.? We know you are working with a Losmandy G11G and Gemini 2 controller which is great but in order to help determine your best options for autoguiding we need to know what your imaging optic(s) and camera(s) used to image with.? Many of us have and use more than one imaging setup to cover more of the sky at the desired scale. Give us the main telescope and imaging camera and I'll walk you through the process to determine what your best options are and why.? Come on, this is how our little community gets it done.??
