Ryan,
The most popular guiding algorithm Hysterisis in PHD2 should and does allow variances across the celestial sphere but one observation is clear to me and that is guiding definitely marginally improves as you ascend in Altitude past the 35 to 40 degree mark
To answer your earlier question about guiding near the SCP , I haven’t found a significant improvement near the pole.My rigs guide just as well on one side of the meridian near the pole or south east , due east or north east . It’s only when the rig ascends in altitude that I see some gradual improvement
Quite frankly conditions change so much from night to night and guiding has so many variables it’s hard to nail a definitive trend each time you go out but I try to keep a standard approach and not get to hung up on the graph. At the end of the day round stars are round stars and that’s what counts
Cheers
