Hi all, I am trying to figure out the most straightforward way to create and interface between my dual axis stepper drives (Orion TrueTrack) and my webcam to autoguide my SkyView Pro mount. I have several pieces of software (i.e., Startrack and Guidedog), the webcam, a laptop, and I even have the parts to make the Cookbook autoguider circuit (via the AY-3-1013D UART). I saw an article in a Sky and Telescope magazine a few years ago about how to essentially rewire the TrueTrack handpad to allow webcam autoguiding. Does anybody have any instructions for how to put all of these components together to allow me to autoguide with my piggybacked refractor? As a side note, I'll be using the SkyView Pro mount on a backyard pier. Thanks for your help!
