This is an advanced function for autoguiding when a guiding camera is used either via a Guide Port
(ST-4) or using the ASCOM protocol. Before autoguiding, align the polar axis carefully. Select an
appropriate guiding speed. The latest firmware allows you to set the R.A. and DEC guiding speed
differently. The R.A. guiding speed can be set between ±0.01X to ±0.90X sidereal rate. The DEC
guiding speed can be set between ±0.10X to ±0.99X sidereal rate. Follow the instructions of your
autoguiding software for detailed guiding operation.
The guide port wiring is shown in Figure 4, which has same pin-out as that from Celestron / Starlight
Xpress / Orion Mount / Orion Autoguider/ QHY5 autoguider.
If you have an autoguider which has the same pin-out as the ST-I from SBIG, such as Meade/
Losmandy/ Takahashi/ Vixen, make sure a proper guiding cable is used. Refer to your guiding camera
and guiding software for detailed operation.
