Hi Renaud,

You can guide using the 497 serial input port at the
bottom, using a USB>serial adaptor and generic LX200
guiding commands, if your software supports everything.
It doesn't work very well though, due to inherent delays.

Gene's Clone 909 is by far the best way to autoguide
a mount with Meade motors.

Regards,
