You would connect the computer to the mount using a GPUSB from Shoestring Astronomy.  They're reasonably priced, and you can get different cables for the various mounts that support ST-4 signals.

Wonderful!

I have a Mac and I'm trying the try version of Astro_IIDC before to buy it. When arrive the two FireFly I've purchase i'll try to use one of them for autoguiding my mount.

By the way, I should connect the camera to the computer and the computer to the mount, shouldn't I? There's not any direct way to connect the camera to te ST4 port, isn't it?

Hi, everybody!

I presume you don't use FlyCapture to manage this camera, but  

Astro_IIDC.

Yes. FlyCapture does not run under OS X.

I ask: it works all right or you need some extra software?

Yes, their USB 2 camera support the IIDC protocol so they work fine -  

all you need is a Astro IIDC on the Mac.
