The Orion is a decicated CCD camera the camera portion is in fact very similar to the QHy5 but the drivers for the Orion will not allow video frames to be captured for stacking. It connnects to the EQ6 pro and yes you can use a 66 for a guidescope I've even toyed with the idea of modifying the focuser of my 60mm finder to act as a guidescope.

It's a decicated guider very simple to use. I've looked for drivers to use it as a video capture device without much success but as autoguiders go it's simple and works and can guide of fairly dim stars.
