Nexstar 6SE ST80 Guide Scope

[daveangie0110]

Hi All

I would like to try and guide my Nexstar 6SE, using a home made wedge and a Skywatcher ST80 as a guide scope, can anyone give me some help, i have listed some questions if anyone could answer them for me.

Has anyone successfully guided a Nexstar SE scope ? if so how

How Would you mount a ST80 on the Nexstar

What software was used

Many thanks

In my view any reflector is best guided by an off axis guider but you can bolt a guide scope onto a rail attached to the top of an SCT.

Getting the wedge well aligned won't be easy but folks have managed it.
