So maybe building a fully autoguided system for a barndoor/altaz mount is too much...

As a first step, how does the following sound:
{
In order to achieve basic guiding (not auto):
Mount a webcam, connected to a computer via usb and
calculate offsets.
Manually change these offsets by rotating the nut.
}
This way, I get reliable guiding..to some extent, right?
