I have STL11000 (maybe time to upgrade - and if so any recommendations?) and an STI-SBIG guider (also the old one that is not available anymore). I have an old FSQ106 and an AP140. I was thinking about getting the MOAG off-axis guider. Will there be any issues with focusing? I do not want to find out after spending almost $900. Also, it seems like the 8 filter option for the STL11000 is not available anymore? Thanks Petur
I'm afraid STL accessories have not been available for many years. We do have a new adapter that allows you to attach our StarChaser guider to the STL. https://diffractionlimited.com/product/stl-to-starchaser-adapter/
I'd recommend the SC-3-SHORT. It will work with or without the external STL filter wheel. It's also larger bore so provides more pick-off mirror clearance with the 11000. Plus it works with the AO-X. The SC-2 option is mainly for the situation where you have a smaller sensor and don't plan to use the external filter wheel. It can work with the AO-8, which is less expensive than the AO-X but is also quite a bit thicker.
Can use this with the SC-3-SHORT? https://www.astro-physics.com/adatcc3 Which will be attached to the telecompressor. https://www.astro-physics.com/155tcc P
