Which Rings

[johnb]

HI

Im starting out on the guided route, you can see the kit below, now my first issue (im sure there will be more) is that whilst my main scope is on target i often cant see any stars through the guide scope so i need to be able to move it a little - from reading i need some special rings ?, as always im a bit confused which rings to get, pointers appreciated.

IMHO it's probably better to stay with the fixed rings and move the scope slightly if needed - it gives a far more "solid" guide alignment.

( The LVI should be able to pick up pretty faint guide stars???)

You will need a set of guide rings like this ADM Guidescope Rings and systems - ADM Mini Dovetail Guidescope Rings how big is your guide scope.

Thanks the guide scope is a Skywatcher Startravel 80

Just measure the diameter of the scope where the rings are going to sit and get rings that are about 25mm bigger.
