Just the old manual Tak CAA. Most of the time I frame my subject so that there's a decent guide star available on both sides of the meridian without having to rotate. CCDAP automatically adjusts the integration time for searching and guiding up to a maximum interval you set. I typically have my max set to 15 seconds (fairly arbitrary) and that's fine for guide stars down to mag 10 ... remembering I currently have to guide through filters. You can set the max integration time to anything of course as long as your mount can track accurately during that interval - no problem for a PME!!
