Hi Mardy.
I believe you are correct about the parallel cable. Long exposure is all. I used a stock standard ToUcam 840 for a long time with K3CCDTools. They worked together a treat. I didn't find I needed a mod to find a suitable star. Whether it was my mount controls or just my awkwardness with the K3 Drift Explorer settings, but I found it very hit and miss with autoguiding. Some nights it would guide like a dream and others were nothing but frustration. I thank the stars the day Stark Labs came up with PHD Guiding. I've never gone back to K3 for guiding since.
I still use K3 for other things, wouldn't be without it really, but not for guiding.
