Yes. There is CCD autoguide port. However, this port a different pinout then the default SBIG standard port. You will need to make a special cable. I have not yet tried using the SkySensor 2000 in autoguide mode. Q: Can the SkySensor be controlled by a remote computer through the RS232 port. A: No. The RS232 port is used only for downloading Satellite Tracking Parameters. Since the parameters are easily entered with the keypad, I have not tried the RS232 connection.
