I have used the camera and the scope on every outing since I bought them, and I am very happy with both. They are easy to install, easy to use, and compatible with NINA via PHD2 for guiding. It should be taken into account that focusing at night can be a bit complex, so I recommend doing it during the day by pointing at a distant object, and then making minimal adjustments at night.

I used this autoguider as a beginner together with SW555 telescope and main camera SW405cc, mounted on SW Star Adventurer. I did have no problem to guide very precisely first night I put this rig together. After i stack first set of lights, I was sety pleased how all pictures ale aligned. Maybe too much. Now I have to add dithering to my imaging process. Great and affordable piece of equipment.

I've been guiding with the SV905C for over a year now, and find it to be a pretty good little camera. It pairs well with the SV165 30mm.
