Hi Kirkus!

ImagesPlus or other camera control software is good for controlling the camera until you get a TC-80N3. You will not have much luck holding the shutter open by hand - the shake of your hand will blur the images. Best off using a $20 infrared remote and use that to start/stop your exposures.

Unguided means the mount is tracking on it's own, but not receiving guiding commands from software, that calculates where to go based on input from a guide scope/guide camera.

Guiding is when you are using a guidescope/guidecamera.
