[Aavso-photometry] STV compatibility?

[Tim Crawford]

Using a SBIG ST-9E with CFW-8 color filter wheel with
a LX200, classic (12")

I need to know if I purchased a SBIG STV how I can use
it to auto guide the scope, as a stand alone
auto-guider but yet let me have the current inputs to
the scope from the puter using CCDOPS?

Can the output from the STV be input to a jumper cable
in  parallel with the CFW-8 serial port?  thereby
allowing control of the scope from both the
auto-guider and CCDOPS (which I prefer to use with the
St-9E) to center field before integrating.

thank you for the help and happy holidays
