Astrodon Monster MOAG (MMOAG)
I decided to give off-axis guiding a try and picked up an Astrodon MMOAG on AstroMart. So far so good. After lots of experimenting and adjustments using flat-frames I have no vignetting and no shadows from the pickoff prism. Out under the stars I was able to find guidestars without rotating, which was my biggest concern.
This setup puts even more weight on the back. One purchase leads to another and so I now need to get a counter-weight setup on the front to more easily balance in DEC.
