Hi Carl
What sort of computing equipment do you have at the moment? If you just have a Laptop you can get away just using the USB cable that comes with the camera, only thing is, you are limited to 30 second shots. If you dont have a computer as such, you can download onto the CF card but I would suggest you try and get one about 1 gig if you are going to do it that way.
As far as guiding is concerned, you have a couple of options, if you can accurately drift align, you MAY be able to get away with 30 second shots without guiding, you can go by way of Off Axis Guider or you can go by way of separate guidescope. Added cost I am afraid. I wont go into the pros and cons of each at this stage, save that for a later question. If you want to photograph longer than 30 seconds you will have to get a different cable.
