Re: [APML] guide stars on ST-10

[Matt BenDaniel <matt@starmatt.com>]

Tony,

The guiding chip in the ST-10 (&all self-guiding SBIG) is the same
(size) as the ST-4 chip: 2.6mm x 2.6mm.  If you don't adjust the view of
the self-guiding chip at all, you often have to settle for a dimmer star
than you might want.

(The STV is larger and more sensitive and has less of a problem.)
