      Hi! The use of a guide scope is not recommended for telescopes with a focal length greater than 700mm.

    Hi, I got the mini scope and the ZWO ASI planetary camera. I was able to successfully set it up with PHD2, and it is recognized and connects fine and the program runs and loops and takes the pictures. But, it won’t focus on the stars. All I get is noisy images with no stars. When I look through the mini scope, the only very close objects are in focus. What am I doing wrong? Thanks..

    Q1. Does this work for guiding a 1500mm focal length Skymax 127 mak with an ASI224MC?
    Q2. Is connecting ASI224MC to AZ-GTi over ST4 is enough or a mini PC/ASIAIR Plus is needed as well?

    Hi there I have a Sky watcher EQM-35 GoTo mount and I have an ASIAIR plus. I want to use my Nikon D750 DSLR as my main camera. Can I get this mini guide scope and the ASI 120mm Mini as guide camera? What extras would I need to buy to do this? I’m very new to this. Thank you!

    Will it work with a ASI385MC to guide a 900mm F7.5 refractor?

      900mm is a little longer, usually we recommend to guide for 500mm and shorter.

    Can I use my ASI174MC color with this scope as a guide camera for my ASIAIR PRO and Celestron CPC-1100? Or would I be better off purchasing the ASI290MM mini with this scope? Thank you
