This was the same procedure for the 201XT and proved to be its achilles heel. Been there done that. If the star is not focussed properly, the eye can accomodate a miss- focussed star quite well, then the star is bloated and your guiding accuracy goes down a lot. Thats why you NEED to see a star, select the best in the field or get a clean field, focus accurately, lock on to it and then guide. Sorry there is no free lunch when it comes to guiding
