But with the effort, can eventually expect to get similar results guiding manually?
anyone??

I missed the manual guiding bit. Hmmm been there and done that a long time ago. Why do you want to manual guide? Why not put a camera in the OAG and guide with PHD or similar programme? Even still the OAG guiding manually will be better than with a guide scope. Although the guide scope will have brighter stars.
