For image acquisition, guiding and such, they're pushing the Camera Add On to TheSkyX. For image processing they're encouraging us to use state of the art image processing software, freeware, open source or other vendors.
Thanks Frolinmod - that makes sense now. I had a quick look at the Camera Add On to TheSky and apart from the price it seems good. For the time being, I'm trialling Sequence Generator Pro since I can't get CCDSoft V5.00.217 to actually take an image with my camera (which is stopping me managing my AP1200's PEC and doing a proper PA). And as you say, there is plenty of choice for image processing software.
