So, what it does is "guide" the mount ie "lock" onto a star captured by the guidescope cam.

A seperate scope is required for this because it exposes at a rate of 2 secs or so . The main imaging cam exposes up to 20mins or more per frame,so cant provide fast enough correcting (guiding) info to the mount for it to stay locked on the guide star continuosly.
