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

[Pamela L. Gay]

How are you steering your scope? Getting the DSI to guide is easy  
using the software that came with it (see page 31 of your  
instructions). PHD (http://www.stark-labs.com/phdguiding.html) also  
works well.

The problem I ran into was I could either move the telescope around  
the sky (using The Sky) or I could auto guide, but I couldn't switch  
between the two in a reasonable manner.

Admittedly, my situation was complicated because it was a teaching  
environment and I was locked into using "The Sky".

Cheers,
Pamela
