I'm looking around for a reliable autoguider that works with INDI.
Anyone use one of these?

I recall someone reporting an issue with costar specifically? Maybe ask SX directly, they can try to test it with INDI.

I checked this issue with SX already. Costar should work with our driver like any other SX camera, but true is, that the only Costar owner who ever tried it reported that it doesn't. it is not quite clear, if that device has modified firmware or not so we don't know what's wrong. Peter

Thanks guys,
After more investigation it looks like the lodestar2 is supposed to be fantastic.
Its expensive but maybe worth it... Another option is a standard lodestar if I can find one, looks like they are no longer made.

Hi!

I have the older Lodestar, it's very good, no problems whatsoever. I bought mine second hand from Astromart, you can probably find one on UK Astro Buy and Sell to, second hand, if you wish.
