Yes, and replaces the ST-237, which I had picked up as an autoguider. Has
the same Class 2 chip as the ST-7's so imaging should be decent, using Track
and Accumulate (and I'm sure I'll play with that a bit), but I'll still use
it mostly as an autoguider. I'll keep you updated on how it does (other than
the really obvious benefit of downloading a full frame in under a second
rather than the 10+ seconds for the ST-237).

Clear, dark and steady skies
