Autoguiding with a G-11 standard mount ?

Hi Fellows,
I have a good opportunity to buy a second hand G-11S (standard). This mount being standard doesn't have goto capability, although it has a hand control to move the scope. I am afraid to buy this unless I have the following questions answered:

1- Can this standard version be controlled by a planetary program like The Sky X, so that I can sync the mount using a number of stars to calibrate the it ?

2- How does this standard version work as for autoguiding ? Is the connection a standard ST-4 port ?

3- The package available for sale, also has a JMI NGC-MAX. Does this help some in the workflow of pointing to an object for astrophotography ?

Any other comment is more than welcome.

Thanks.
Fernando
