Default Autoguiding LX90 12" ?

I am tempted by the new lower price (£2099), is anyone autoguiding an
LX90, do any of the available softwares (eg Guidedog, astropro) work
them them or do you need a LX200 ?

Cheers

I've got an LX-90 8" which I autoguide. Yes, you can autoguide with them.
Guidedog works, don't know about astropro. K3CCDTools works too.
Personally, I prefer to guide using the CCD Port on the 909APM, with a
KitsRUs 108 relay box, and K3CCDTools. This setup work extremely well.

Thanks for the info.

From what I can see the CCD port is a similar setup to the LX10, just

short the appropriate 'direction' pin to earth (or +ve on LX10) ?.

I currently use the LX200 emulator for my LX10 so it looks possible to
connect this, with modified wiring.
