Guiding while Imaging

[Arthur Gawdsake]

Dear All.

               I have a ZWO 462 that's good for Planetary Pics.  I wonder though, Is it possible to Guide and Image at the same time with just this Unit.  I have emailed ZWO, but as yet no reply, what do you guys think?

To the best of my knowledge you need separate cameras (and scopes - unless using off axis guider)

[TerryMcK]

Yes Gaz is correct you need separate cameras.

Are you trying to guide whilst imaging the planets with this camera? If so, then I believe it is possible with FireCapture software. However, if you are tring to use it to guide and capture DSO data, then I think that's not possible.
