EmbarassedFrown Hi guys I am new to this well not totally new I now own a C9.25 OTA  mounted on a Skywatcher EQ6 pro , I have 2 questions to ask if I may

1) What would you suggest as a tracking setup , guide scope setup that won't break the bank

2) I did a silly thing I installed Bob's knobs and am wondering if the laser units for alinging the mirrors are worth the money as mine are out a bit now and I am having trouble getting them setup again CryFoot in mouth

I mounted an Onynx 80 EDF on top of my C11 OTA with Losmandy dovetail rail.

As for Bob's knobs, I have then installed on my OTA and it is far from silly. It makes collimation if needed a snap. I was always nervous using a screwdriver near that corrector plate. Dont buy the laser collimators. use a mag 2 star and/or buy a artificial star from astrozap. I'll test my scopes alignment with the artificial star on cloudy days and tweek it more using Polaris next time I'm out.
