OK Mike - now I understand. It sounds like you have a non-goto mount and while you can do a guiding mod to provide an ST4 connection to allow autoguiding this will not turn it into a goto mount.

Guiding is all about adjusting the rotation of the mount for accurate photography - not about positioning the scope to locate objects.

I don't believe you will be able to use Stellarium to drive the mount to an object with this arrangement - you need a goto mount for that.
