Guidescope mounting advice

[astrojon77]

Hi,

I'd like to try some auto-guiding (again). I have an Altair GPCam IMX224C, which I think will be fairly suitable (even though it's colour).

I'm thinking of getting something like the ZWO mini guide scope or the William Optics 32mm Slide-base Uniguide Scope, or perhaps an Altair MG32 Mini Guide Scope.

But I'm a bit unsure how to mount the guidescopes. I need two mount points:

1. my Meade LXD75 6" telescope. The current red dot finder is mounted via two screws - see photo.
2. an L-bracket attached to my camera, I'm thinking of doing some camera+telephoto lens photography, and liked the look of Peter Zelinka's setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcxtdD5rQeQ

Any help appreciated,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan

I would securely mount the WO setup on a plate between the 6" scope's rings.
