Yes, PHD
I just use the bog standard settings with 0.2s exp (instead of the 1.0s default) from the menu on the main PHD window.

To give you an idea, Canopus at sharpest focus was as big as a 5cent coin on the PHD window.
Like leon, I avoid these stars and go for smaller user friendly ones, just wanted to extend my options.
