That really will be your customers only workable option. I never tried guiding on my old CPC mount but they should work like any other guider port (ST4 I think) but field rotation will show up after about 15 seconds.

The only workable option to be able to guide it and get a useful result would be to put it on a wedge. I have no idea how well the CPC mounts behave for AP. Even guided, 5 minutes might be pretty challenging. It would also probably need to be done using an off axis guider as a guidescope will show a lot of differential flexure type issues, particularly with the movable main mirror in the C8 tube.
