talking about autoguidng with non meade mount, I have just tested this out on thursday night with my EQ6 and GPUSB using guidestar v1.2. It works like a treat

. Stars stayed spot on for as long as i wanted. havent posted the image of ETA yet as it was a full moon night and i havent had time taking dark frames so the image didnt turned out too well. was too busy mucking around with the software. was doing 2 minute 49 sec exposures. now just waiting for a clear melb night .cheers for the guide alex anyway.
