Hi all. I want to try autoguiding with my webcam Toucam 840, and I have a couple of questions:
1 - Is anyone out there using K3CCDTools for webcam autoguiding? Results?
2 - How do you wire the computer output back to the mount? I have a G-11.
3 - Is there anything else I should know?

Thanks for your help.
Tyler

Tyler,
I'm not exactly an expert here (and importantly, I don't have a G-11 sad ) but I think you will need either a relay box (which you may want to make yourself) or a serial cable.

Important question - do you have the Gemini goto on your G-11? The means you use to hook it up will be different for each case

Regards
Duncan
