Re: [APML] One more question: guiding w lens & CLA-7

[Michael Cole <mrcole@earthlink.net>]

Yes, you can guide with a camera lense.  Another member of this list 
uses this method for guiding photos through his Tak FSQ.  The e-finder 
for the STV is a mere 100mm.  He feels he gets better guiding with a 
camera lense.  Not sure if this was what you were asking, but it's my 
answer.
