Thanks for the tips guys, especially regarding the guidescope options.
John, the the Shoestring Astronomy adapter is an optocoupler. It is a very simple device that I can save a few bucks on by building myself (I have most of the parts in my spares/junk box). Basically all it is does is electrically isolate the computer port from the mount electronics.
I was thinking of getting the ScopeTronix Maxview II camera adapter that allows for prime or afocal projection. Using ep projection would not be much use for extended DSOs but for planetary nebulae or close ups of the moon it would be quite handy. Compare it to the price of a 5x powermate.
