[Aavso-photometry] Autoguide with DSI & LX200 Classic??

[Jeff Hopkins]

Hello Tim,

It is my understanding there should be no problem. You can use 
AutoStar to do the guiding or any other such program (e.g., PHD). The 
classic and GPS supposedly just us simple on off levels to control 
the guiding. Check http://www.stark-labs.com/phdguiding.html
It's freeware and works on both Mac and Windows.

Also there is a long thread on this on the AutoStar Suite Net list. 
See
