CG5-GT mount and auto guiding.

Not sure if this is the correct section, but here goes,

I am about to take a step into the world of auto guiding with my CG5-GT mount. I have converted a finder scope into a guide scope and plan on using a modded web cam, but could I have pointers on what software I need and how to connect to scope. The mount has a ST4 socket which I think is used to guide with, but how to connect finder guider to it?

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

Whilst I dont have a CG5GT now I used to guide with one through a converted finderscope with PHD software(free).

I connected via a cable into the base of the handset to my laptop USB port (see Astronomiser for the correct cable and USB converter).

It worked extremely well.
