Integration, by that i assume you mean everything being run by SGP, can be done down the track if you wish. You will need ASCOM Platform 6 and the ASI ASCOM driver, but that is all you need to get SGP to run the camera. The camera USB3 cable can just be plugged into the laptop running SGP. That is the important bit.

Thanks Glen,
I currently have be using the handset and using SGP and PHD2 as stand alone without any problems but find the handset not that accurate and there are functions I need the handset doesn't do, I need to park and start the scope on a different angle due to my slide of roof being low and it doesn't have a sync option...will check out Sky Safari though
