What I really want is to have stand-alone guider (less hardware in the field, the better..), and since my camera has it's own processor (LPC P-2148, 100MHz ARM core) RS232 and couple of output ports, it should not be too hard to convert somehow the existing software (for example, Marti Niemi BASIC routines) into C code.
Perhaps I should contact him... Anyone knows his current email address? (the one on his website is not active any more).
