This is very useful when looking for a star to guide on, using an OAG. When you use an OAG-guider with a Ritchey-Chretien or Schmit-Cassegrain telescope, the hardest part is to find a suitable guide star. ASI174MM Mini has a larger 1\/1.2″ sensor which means your FoV is 4 times bigger than that of the ASI120MM Mini.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"\u003eSmiling Face\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-67496\" src=\"https:\/\/i.zwoastro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/f9305779087232c453afc21198a25b22.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.zwoastro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/f9305779087232c453afc21198a25b22.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/i.zwoastro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/f9305779087232c453afc21198a25b22-730x335.jpg 730w, https:\/\/i.zwoastro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/f9305779087232c453afc21198a25b22-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.zwoastro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/f9305779087232c453afc21198a25b22-768x352.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.zwoastro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/f9305779087232c453afc21198a25b22-1024x469.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.zwoastro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/f9305779087232c453afc21198a25b22-370x170.jpg 370w, https:\/\/i.zwoastro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/f9305779087232c453afc21198a25b22-840x385.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.zwoastro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/f9305779087232c453afc21198a25b22-410x188.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you squint your eyes, the back of the ASI mini-camera looks like a smiling face (albeit you have to squint quite hard).  On the back you will find a type-C USB port, which is widely used in mobile phones.
