thanks for clarifying that.
I had mistakenly assumed that a guide camera with an ST4 port can be used as a standalone guider that can send correction pulses. clearly not the case.
I was hoping to do away with the laptop and use the guide camera and my mcu alone. I guess I need to do a lot more research for that as I'll have to analyze the ccd image on my mcu to generate correction pulses required.
understood what you mentioned about pulseguiding. I guess it makes more sense for the software to correct the mount directly rather than through the guide camera and its st4 port.
