Vixen offers a similar unit with their advanced unit for Starbook 10 - it permits direct autoguiding through the Starbook 10 handcontroller (mini computer), camera control, image display from a CCD, AVI play back etc etc. It's been around a while.
It does many other features too. I don't have it with my Starbook 10, and don't plan to, but nice to know if I want it, I can (it is around $900). None of the mounts Starbook 10 work with can be considered budget or beginner though by any stretch of the imagination.
I have ONE cable going to my laptop - and that is for the CCD and AG downloads (the AG runs through my CCD's inbuilt hub). The rest is done in SB10, or SkySafari running the SB10.
