Advice for connecting CPC800 to Cartes du Ciel

[mjn321]

I have borrowed a friends CPC 800 (until Jan 2011) and have the latest version of Cartes du Ciel on a laptop running windows XP.

How do I use the computer to run the 'scope and what setting do I input into the 'telescope settings' panel of this program.

What lead do I need and is it run via the Nexstar remote socket, the 'PC" or the 'Auto Guide' socket on the base unit? (The manual is a bit vague around this).

Many thanks....

The camera, as far as I know, doesn't connect to CdC, you're looking to connect the mount, so the laptop can drive it ?

What mount do you have ?
