Hi everyone and thanks for your tips, appreciated as always.

I should clarify - I've been shooting unguided through an ED80 for months and have a pretty good handle on alignment; I actually took the attached shot with the 8" Newtonian unguided with 40 second subs.

I'm just wondering how I physically connect the required parts - guide camera, laptop and mount - and what software I should use besides (or instead of) PHD2. Just curious as to the signal path and how it all works; knowing that will help me understand and remedy the inevitable problems.

If someone could also explain dithering that would be helpful too. Not sure what that is.
