I don't think there are any autoguiding programs that would work using a DSLR, though K3 can control the camera it wouldn't autoguide off it.

And that is just off the top of my non-techi head.
Thanks Paul,
After houghy's comment I realised it was a bit of a daft question for the same reasons you have quoted. A webcam's used because of frame rate speed.
Wishful thinking! It's not everyday I have a spare DSLR lying around!
Cheers
