Autoguiding

Can you use the Meade LSI to autoguide for Astrophotography?

TIA

I think the Meade LSI has a short maximum exposure. Ideally you need a minimum of 1 sec exposures for autoguiding. So no, I don't think it would be suitable.

Thanks for that

The meade LPI will do exposure up to 16s it essentialy a webcam with longish exposure mode available and can be used for guiding although it's not the most sensitive cam on the planet but if you have it already then give it a go...

Meade Instruments Corporation - Meade LPI Imager

Exposure - This is the exposure time in seconds (from .001 to 16 seconds), the up and down spin buttons adjust the exposure up and down by .5 f/stop.
