Hi Leonard, I do some deep-sky photography now and then (Canon rebel at prime focus of my SC8), and am in the process of setting up autoguiding. I have been...
You need an adapter between the parallel port or USB port on your laptop and the autoguider port on your mount. One thing to consider is that a replacement...
