Description

This is my guided setup in our backyard. The NexImage 5MP works reasonably well s a guide camera with the Orion 50mm guidescope and the Shoestring Astronomy GPUSB interface. At some point, I may upgrade the guidescope to Orion's 70 mm finder/guidescope, but for now the 50mm is fine. You can see the image of the Orion Nebula on the laptop screen.

My laptop is almost 8 years old, and I have noticed that sometimes my T2i or T4i camera disconnects. I think this is due to intermittent power drops on the USB ports. Strangely enough, adding all of the USB devices to the hub (non-powered) seemed to help with this.
