What do I need?

Hi All,

I have a 12" LX200 Classic, wedge and some sort of guide scope which came with the LX200 (refractor 4" ish)

I can borrow my dads unmodified Canon EOS 350D and I have access to a Logitech webcam and a laptop/PC.

What do I need to connect all this up to do photography (messier objects)? Was thinking webcam can be used to autoguide on the refractor?

What Software/Hardware/Cables is required? (got the adapter to connect the camera to the scope already from my previous setup)

Thanks and sorry for the beginner questions! I have had a look though this forum for answers but couldn't find them

P.S - previous setup was a EQ5 mount, 8" Newtonian which has now been sold
