the vixen 70s guidescope will do fine with 70mm aperture and 400f.l. (f5.7). It has a micro-positioning adjustment for alignment of guidestars w.r.t to your capture object. It will suffice with wide-field imaging. Hi Tommy! miss ya guys!

Hi Tommy and Kochu,
Hey, that's a pretty good deal for the 70mm. Would not mind checking out and helping you out, Tommy. Might be interested in getting one myself.
Where is Big Superstore?
