Auto Guiding
The Advanced GT telescope has a designated auto guiding port for use with a CCD autoguider. The
diagram below may be useful when connecting the CCD camera cable to the telescope and calibrating the
autoguider. Note that the four outputs are active-low, with internal pull-ups and are capable of sinking 25
mA DC.
