bro just a question. i understand it does not come with a polar scope but if i wanna install a polar scope is it possible?

you don't need a polar scope in SG.. because you can't see Polaris from SG.

drift alignment is the best way to go.

yes! the polar scope can be installed. but its useless here. if you are going to do normal visual , pointing the mount roughly to north and setting the latitude to singapore's after the 3 star aligment on synscan u can basically use the goto flawlessly. but if you are doing astrophotography, u would still have to do your drift alignment.

Is the mount still available and does it have an option for autoguider (autoguiding)?

THe picture shows that there is an autoguider attached

yes the the synscan does have an autoguider port to communicate with the autoguiding camera.
