Guide Scope & Camera advice

[teoria_del_big_bang]

Hi,

Looking to buy a guidescope & camera for imaging DSO's. I am starting to learn that trying to save money when imaging is difficult and not always cost effective if you have to buy again later because it was not up to the job. But how far do you need to go regarding the guidescope? 

Is there any benefit for example in this:

STARWAVE 50MM GUIDE SCOPE & GPCAM MONO GUIDE CAMERA KIT

compared to this:

Skywatcher EVOGUIDE-50ED Guide Scope PLUS ALTAIRGP130M Mono Guide Camera

My first question is what are you looking at guiding? What is your main scope? I ask as the longer the focal length the less reliable a short focal length guider will be and sometimes Off Axis Guiders are the way forward.

I have a WO 73 APO on it's way

Ok so in that case either if these guiders will work in principal. Is there a finder shoe on the WO scope?

I will hopefully find out tomorrow but expecting it to be as in pic below.

That looks far too pretty.. a 9x50 as a finder/guider with a mono camera and bobs your uncle

I'm open to testing it out for you ..my services are free but a real thorough test might take 6 months..9 months if it's really good.. sorry i mean cloudy..
