autoguiding while saving your pennies

I'd like to take some deep sky images with the TEC200. If I bolted a small/cheap/long achromat on top of the TEC, what is the cheapest effective guiding solution I can rig up to guide an AP1200? for use with my EOS DSLR.

Thanks!

Mike, might want to try PHDguiding, which is free. Of course, you would need an inexpensive CCD camera to work with it, which could be something like a Meade DSI Pro or the like...

Here is a link to PHDguiding... so you can read about it & download it if is suits your needs.
