I'm contemplating putting a donated SBIG STV autoguider to use on one of the AAVSONet (SBIG ST-7) scopes up here. That's because it uses narrowband filters for science...and the guider chip sitting behind the dark filter...is often blind to guide stars.

But I don't want to trade one set of problems for another.

Will an SBIG STV integrate with ACP/Maxim in a seamless fashion that keeps things automated? Or will it require me to manually push buttons in the middle of the night?

Thanks in advance.
