While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Has anyone ever succeeded in interfacing a ccd autoguider to a
Starfinder EQ? Meade has apparently chosen to exclude that
functionality from Starfinder/MagellanII combos, and even the relay
box they offer for ccd ag's isn't compatible with Starfinder EQs. I
thought there might be a ray of hope from JMI, but their Mototrak V
requires an AC r/a motor (although it uses a DC dec motor - weird,
huh?) and Meade doesn't offer an AC motor option for my scope. I
would prefer a solution that doesn't cost as much as an LX200 (in
which case I would just buy an LX200) but I'm in no position to be
picky...
