David. Mount is a Takahashi EM-200B (1997). It is very accurate unguided, +/-5 arc seconds PtoP, built for manual hand controller guiding. There was a guiding mod for these, which is no longer made. I don't think it's necessary.

No laptop interface, with either of these guiders, which is ideal for my purposes.

Imaging rig is a cooled 1000D and various lenses, principally a Canon 200mm prime and more recently a Nikon f1.8G 85 mm. I bought a 130mm Auto Micronar from an ISS member with the intention of filling the 85mm -200mm gap. It might just make a guide scope - $40.
