JohnG, Its a typical GEM mounting where I've removed the Losmandy motors and control unit and replaced them with a couple of Meade DS series motors. These motors are directly controlled from a Meade hand controller which allows GOTO capability as well as the usual push button control. It can be used independently of any other computer but it does have an DB8 connector which allows it to interface with planetarium programs ie The Sky.
I need to experiment ( I think!) with the standard guiding options through the software ( I assume using LX200 commands) as Allan suggests before I get any further.
