I'm a bit confused about Auto guiding.

Hi Guys.

I have an HEQ5 mount and I'd like auto guide it. I dont have any specialized equipment for the job but I do have a web cam that PHD will recognise. I'm attaching the web cam to an 8*50 finderscope so I'm not expecting much.

My question is this.

How do I connect my laptop to the auto guide port on the mount?

Here is my set up.

HEQ5 pro.
Starrynight 6
EQmod.
PHD.
Imaging with a canon 1000d.

I can figure everthing out except how to connect PHD to my guide port. Do I bypass SN6 and Eqmod and come out of the serial port of the laptop into the guide port and use the synscan box as the navigator?

Thanks
Sandy
