Neximage CCD camera as autoguider?

I have a Neximage Solar system imager and I've read somewhere it could be used as an autoguider as well. What does it take to do this? The imager has a USB connection and my CG-5 has a 6-pin phone jack connection. Is there an adapter and what software is required?

I do not think so, but Celestron just released their NexGuider for $299.99 that should work nicely.

How do you like the NexImager, I've been thinking of this imager myself.

Yes, you can autoguide with it...but not through the autoguide port. You will guide through your scope's serial port. See your guiding program's documentation for details.

It's main limitation is sensitivity, but it is certainly good enough to star out with.
