Off-axis guider

I tried to by the atik prototype at kelling but the weren't playing ball

I think, and I could be wrong, but the ATIK one is quite deep and is of little use for fast scopes.

It's not too bad but no where near as thin as the TS 'wafer' jobbie, which is the one I'm probably going to go for.  It does look like the TS oag has a T-thread adaptor for guide camera so I need to check with them about fitting an SX Guider with CS thread first.

Ian King reckons the TS OAG is not that strong and probably won't take the weight of my camera/filter wheel and is recommending the SX Off Axis guider instead. I'm going to take a look at that as well as the other Telescope Service 'modified celestron' unit.

Any others I should be considering?

Thanks
Robert
