Stars aren’t perfectly round, but not too far from it - it’s a balance between reliability of guiding in an autonomous setup vs yield for students.
AP have been excellent for after sales service.

I have heard that using an OAG is very difficult with a robotic mount
and that adaptive optics at say 10hz is nearly impossible
or too costly for a robotic mount?
