I also just noticed that the new K3CCDTools version has a Drift Explorer
and
Autoguide feature.....

Am I missing something here or does this potentially give the ability to
autoguide my LX200GPS with the Toucam Pro or DSI Pro and no additional
equipment - i.e. Guidescope and separate camera ? Just connect the laptop
via the serial port to the scope, set up K3CCDTools and hit the "guide"
button (probably not that simple, but....)


Hi,

Drift Explorer and Autoguide have been features of K3CCDTools for a while
now. You still need a separate camera for imaging. You can either use an
off
axis guider on your main scope or a separate guidescope for your guide
camera. BTW do you know there is a Yahoo support group?

There is also a lot of knowledge about K3CCDTools on the QCUIAG group

Cheers Robin - will check it out. However - it's a bit on the "new features"
page that caught my interest. It says:

"Possibility to Autoguide during WDM sequence capturing by using the same
camera for capturing and autoguiding".....
