"I use this on a C11 EdgeHD, with a full frame imaging camera. The prism for the guiding camera, relative to competitors, is very large..."

"I like this product a lot. I didn't at first, but I purchased it for use in a Celestron SCT, since installing a guide scope..." "I like this product a lot. I didn't at first, but I purchased it for use in a Celestron SCT, since installing a guide scope on the side of the scope tended make the vertical balance in dec difficult (read: impossible) to achieve without adding additional weights to the scope to balance it. The Celestron OAG makes vertical balance in dec easy to achieve, because it keeps most of the weight of imaging and guiding cameras along close to the radial axis of the optical tube. The weight of a 9.25" SCT optical tube alone is about 20 lbs, which is within 2 or 3 lbs of the (actual) load limit of the Celestron AVX mount. I don't recommend AVX + 9.25" SCT, because if it is at all breezy, or one wants to add something like a filter wheel, one runs a significant risk of getting a bunch of astropix with unstackable content (elongated stars, with long periods of backlash recovery and jiggly star streams in several shots). I'm just saying that the OAG was the only way I was able to use the AVX + 9.25" SCT combo. I finally ended up getting a more robust CGX mount, which is 10 times the price of the OAG, but also I am now happy to have the OAG available, since it simplifies the weight and cable management of the mount. The hardest part of dealing with the OAG is when you first set it up, because you have to bring your imaging and guiding cameras to focus together. This can take a while as you work your way through the various adapters and combinations provided. Once this is done, though, it is possible to treat the whole conglomeration of OAG, imager, and guider as a single attachment for your telescope (just lock the focus of the guider with a set screw before disassembling), which is always at or near focus once it is attached. Saves a lot of time in the field. If you have more than one combination of telescope, imager, and guider that you want to use the OAG for, you either must go through the headache of parallel focusing the components, or, if you are wealthy (enough), I suppose you could get a dedicated OAG for each combination."
