Another idea might be attach a CCD to the lens. That would require a separate adapter which is possible. Do you guide through the main scope?

For this image I wasn't guiding, however I have in the past. When I do, I use a 1.25" reducer on my guide camera through the LX200. It works great and I never have an issue finding a star
. Mind you, I usually have to set the exposure to <0.05 sec so I don't overexpose
For mounting, I just use a Losmandy DVCM Camera Mount that I got from Bintel. It work really well and it simply mounts onto my Losmandy Dovetail plate.
