I totally agree with this and in relation to the subject is that to be successful you will need a good guide camera. The weakest link in my setup is the guide camera that I use (Orion Starshoot). When unattended it sometimes fails to find a suitable guide star and tries to guide on a group of hot pixels, even when I use dark subtraction. This is the reason why I have been looking at the STi.
