Raymo if you honestly believe that there is only one way to manually guide you need to do a little more reading.

As for having to use a reticle eyepiece if you can tell me how to mount it to my DSLR I'll buy you a coffee. Mind you it is possible to consider a LCD with a grid a reticle LCD.

Just to be absolutely clear: I do DSLR deep space photography. No telescope. I shoot seven shots because at 3.2 s shutter speed that is as many as I can shoot keeping a bright star in the focusing square of my LCD. Then I adjust and shoot another 7. This type of tracking keeps things nicely lined up.

With a manual EQ mount I hope it will be easier than with a pan and tilt head.

As for your statement about being willing to 'fork out for equipment' you are simply being rude.
