The intent was to use the 416 as an OAG while using film at prime, while
still having the ability to do CCD when work when not using film.
Occasionally I was also going to use film piggyback on the LX200.

Well then, next question, can the 216 be used to guide in anything other
than a stand alone mode? i.e. Using Pictorview or anything else? Can the
416 be used to guide using 3rd party software?
