Abstract
A short description of the computer controlled guiding system using im ages from a sensitive TV camera is presented. The system works with a 0.6/7.5 m telescope of Mt. Suhora Observatory and can accept input fro m any standard video camera. The IBM 286-486 or compatible personal co mputer equipped with a SVGA graphic card and framegrabber card is used as a control unit. The program works under a DOS operating system. An effect of guiding on the classic photoelectric photometry and CCD ima ge quality is discussed.
