Autoguiding

Hi Guys,

I have EQ6PRO with SW600, Nikon D50 SLR and laptop. I am at the point of starting astrophotography.

One small concept I'm still trying to understand is autoguiding.

What is the purpose of autoguiding ?
How is it related to EQ6PRO mount traking?
Is there any relation between RJ-45 port on SyncScan and autoguiding ?

I understand that autoguing evolves widefield scope and CCD camera. I'm assuming that there is no need on spending many $$$$ on autoguing setup.

Which is the best guiding scope and CCD camera to get without going overboard?
Thanks guys.
