+1 on FaDG and I just want to make it more simple, thats being done with camera looking thru small scope called guidescope and a software like PhD2, it centers a star and registers the movement of it. If the star is out of the center the software will tell to you mount to go faster, slower, left right etc..

Thanks for your advice?

Unguided is just with a camera looking through a scope or lens. 

Guided is with an additional camera taking short pics through a Guidescope to correct the error in order to get better (and longer) exposures through your imaging setup. 

In both cases the motor is turned on, but in the latter an additional cable (ST4) is plugged aside the mini USB socket. 

Thanks for your advice?

Hi

Im a total novice. I’ve just received my unit but the weather is no good at the minute. One thing I don’t understand when I read through the posts is the guided, unguided bit.
