Hi Jeanette
is that a HBX port?..or a ST4?..I'm not sure about their towers.
Edit:
yes Gotonova & Gotostar have PEC.
The major obstacle for an Autoguider on the Gotonova/Gotostar was that the systems have (were designed with) I2C bus (2 wire) inputs (with USB or RS232 to the handsets). This I2C is excellent for installing add ons like GPS, autofocusers etc but they have had difficulity making a Autoguider interfrace.
I was reserching this & found SBIG new cameras apparently have an I2C bus output/input. Not sure if this is for guiding though.
In theory I2C bus would be far better than an ST4 interface as the autoguider commands move can adjusted for "rate" of drive..ie:.25X to 1X. But we shall see!
